CRAFT TIME ADJUSTMENT APPLICATION PROCEDURE

Craft Time Adjustment (CTA) can be used to modify EPS task times

in this book. Use CIA only when work content comparison shows the

planned job to require more or less work than the listed task.

a. The CTA Chart shows the amount that, the calculated EPS craft

time can be adjusted up or down (+/-) after occurrences have been

multiplied by the Task-Time-Standard. The CTA HOURS are based on the

differences between EPS Group Times (see DESKGUIDE Table 2.1).

CTA Application Steps

(1) Select the proper EPS task by reading and understanding

the EPS task descriptions and the Task-Time-Standard

details in the back of the hard copy EPS Handbook.

(2) Use the normal procedure of writing the selected EPS task

reference, description, unit hours, occurrence and

calculated EPS CRAFT TIME. (Write 'WCC' below the EPS

reference (Col #7) if Work Content Comparison is used.)

(3) Decide if CTA is needed, based on P-E craft knowledge.

If so, look up the EPS CRAFT TIME range and determine the

CTA HOURS from the CTA Chart. Note: Use only the plus

or minus value indicated under CTA hours shown. Do not

select from a range.

On a separate JPCS line, just below the related EPS task:

(4) Write "CTA" in the Reference column (#7).

(5) Write a short explanation for the CTA in the Description

column (#8). Compare the work content to the EPS task.

(6) leave the Unit Hours column (#9a) blank.

(7) Show a "+" or "-" sign in the Occurrence column (#9b).

(When using a "-", remember to subtract while totaling.)

(8) Write the CTA time in the Craft Time column (#9c). (Only

use one CTA occurrence per EPS task.)

For conditions needing adjustment time exceeding CTA hours:

(9) Write a non-EPS estimate or select another EPS task.
