IntroductionIntroduction
UMORS is a computerized process based on the Multiple Overhead Recovery method developed by Charles Vander Kooi. The method outlines the manner in which overhead expenses incurred in the conduct of a service business are recovered through mark-ups of Materials, Equipment, Subcontractors and Labor.
UMORS is NOT an estimating program but a program that determines mark-up rates you need in developing estimates and charges for the work your company provides.
The successful UMORS software is highly recommended for small to large businesses

The Vander Kooi ABC MethodThe Vander Kooi ABC Method
The ABC method is an easy and fair way to distribute overhead between departments.
A = The percentage of a Departments gross sales to the Company’s total sales.
B = The percentage of Overhead Employees allocated to a Department.
C = The percentage of Field Employees allocated to a Department.
These percentages are key to properly allocating budgeted expenses to departments in order to calculate the Labor Mark-up percentage.

Each Employees time can be allocated in any percentage to each department. Initially the employees time is allocated 100% to the department that was assigned in the Field Employees screen. This assumes that the employees hourly wage is constant for all allocations. If for some reason an employee will receive a higher or lower rate for some work, that that employee should be entered as a separate person with a new wage rate. That persons work schedule should then be as a ‘Part Time’ basis.

The purpose of UMORS is to determine the mark-up amount for Labor charges in order to recover the departments overhead. Part of the overhead is recovered from marking up Materials, Equipment and Subcontractors. The residual amount must be recovered from Labor. The Vander Kooi Method does this in a balanced manner.

UMORS also calculates the Mark-up percentage for Labor for the company as a whole. If you haven’t departmentalized your company then this is the value you will use. For a company with several departments, this is a good reference to compare the department recovered mark-ups.

The Crew Calculator is a quick way to assemble a crew with employees and equipment. The crews can be saved for future reference. It is also very easy to substitute employees and/or equipment to see if it impacts the final burdened charge. An employee or equipment can be assigned to more than one crew making them job specific. Depending on the risk level, the percentages for overtime, fudge factor, and profit can be adjusted on an ad hoc basis.
