This study aims to provide recommendations to companies about the optimal number of workers calculated based on workload. This research needs to be done because, at the time of initial observation, it was found that there was a discrepancy between the workload seen in the use of working time and the number of workers, which resulted in work inef iciency. The Company that is the object of this research is a company engaged in metal casting. Workload analysis is reviewed by workers directly involved in the production process. The workload is calculated using the Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) method based on ef ective working time, total working time, and allowances. The results of the FTE calculation become the basis for determining the workload category and the number of additional workers. The results of the FTE calculation show that the mold-making process has an FTE value of 2.76, so it requires an additional 2 workers. The pouring process has an FTE value of 3.3, so it requires an additional 3 workers and the finishing process has an FTE value of 2.91, so it requires an additional 2 workers.
