Fixed Manpower Reduction Analysis to Reduce Indirect Cost of Ship Production

Abstract

In the shipping industry, especially shipyards which are used for building and repairing ships, a lot of labor is required. Due to a lot of labor, of course, makes the salary component to be a fairly large cost component in the company. Nowadays, many shipyards have turned to outsourcing-based shipyards, to reduce indirect costs. However, other shipyards have not yet become outsourcing-based shipyards, so the number of workers is still relatively large. The high number of permanent workers in a company indicates the effectiveness and efficiency of the workforce in the company is still lacking, so that the company will experience losses because the workload received by each workforce does not match the salary received by the worker. The research was conducted using the Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) method, which the components required for this method are the effective working days in 1 year and the effective working time in 1 year. After the analysis was carried out, the percentage of reduction in labor remained at 55%, and the percentage reduction in indirect costs is 38%.
