Method of calculating time-sensitive work algorithms using inputs with different variable effective intervals

摘要

A computer program storage device having a program of instructions executable to perform a method of determining time sensitive values for multiple parametric data having different variable effective intervals. The program is adapted to access a database containing i) parametric data values of a first work factor for a plurality of continuous time intervals and ii) parametric data values of a second work factor for a plurality of continuous time intervals, at least one time interval of the second work factor being different from a time interval of the first work factor. The method comprises reading the parametric data values of the first work factor for a plurality of continuous time intervals; reading the parametric data values of the second work factor for a plurality of continuous time intervals; subdividing at least one time interval of the first work factor or the second work factor into at least two subdivided time intervals so that time intervals of the first work factor correspond to time intervals of the second work factor; and determining parametric data values for the subdivided time intervals of the first work factor or the second work factor. Thereafter the method includes designating a start date and an end date of desired work data based on the first and second work factors and determining work data by applying an algorithm to the parametric data of the first and second work factors for corresponding time intervals between the start date and the end date.
