Run your numbers

Every productive shift starts with logistics

Fuel, equipment, access, and water either got planned or they didn't — and your crews find out at 6:00 AM. See what an unplanned site is costing yours.

When was your logistics plan built?

Modeled on a 45-day event. Longer or shorter events scale roughly in proportion.

Your number

$1,081,500

is what your crews spend waiting instead of working.

Per worker

$1,082

Craft hours lost

11,594

Equivalent idle workers

26

Those craft hours are the equivalent of 26 people on the clock and not on tools, for the entire event.

You're past the span-of-control line.

In OnPoint's field experience, above roughly 250 craft on site a project loses span of control over logistics quickly — there are simply too many moving parts for supervision to absorb between other duties.

What's generating that number Someone on your site is doing all six of these today, between other duties.
  • Logistics coordination
  • Fueling services
  • Rental equipment management
  • Ground support
  • Hydration and sanitation
  • Traffic control

Not counted in this number

Transportation: workforce movement and bussing are modeled separately in the OnPoint Transportation Efficiency Calculator.
Mobilization and demobilization: BRB and laydown layout, temp facility prep, equipment receiving, and end-of-event asset recovery and off-rent. Your coordinators absorb this today; it is scoped per project rather than modeled here.

Net back to the project

Return on program cost

Recovery is shown as a range because the achievable share varies by site and isn't knowable until a project is underway. The low end is the conservative planning case.

One logistics model doesn't fit every site.

We'll walk yours and size it properly.

How we calculate this Labor-driven estimates are built from craft wait time: the hourly rate of the affected craft, the number of workers standing by, and the duration of the delay. Where equipment repair drives the stoppage, mechanic time is included at $125/hour. Equipment-driven estimates — idle rent and fuel consumed by unaccounted assets — scale with the rental fleet rather than headcount. Everything else scales with headcount, which is the primary driver of logistics cost on an industrial project.

Figures reflect OnPoint field observations across more than 50 industrial turnarounds, capital projects, and maintenance events. The model assumes a 45-day event. Your actual costs will vary with craft mix, region, and event scope.

Prototype note: at 1,000 craft, $85/hour, 45 days, and no written logistics plan, this tool reconciles exactly to the $1,081,500 in the source worksheet.
