US Classification:

705400, 718104

Abstract:

A transition costing program (TCP) uses standardized activity tasks (SAT), standard activity estimates (SAE) for each SAT, a transition costing estimator (TCE) to develop full time equivalent (FTE) values for transitioning a customer. The TCP functions in an engagement phase, a boarding phase, and end cost variance (ECV) analysis phase so that feedback is provided to validate or modify the SAE. In the engagement phase, the TCP selects the activities necessary to transition the customer from an SAT library and enters the SAT selections into the TCE. As the SAT selections are entered, the TCE populates a display with corresponding SAE value for each task. During transition, costs are monitored by SAE, the transition is completed and the actual costs for each task are compared with the SAE value for each SAT. When the comparison shows a variance, the TCP analyzes the variance and determines whether to modify the SAE value for the SAT under review.

Abstract:

The present invention is directed, in part, to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment with the added features of an upper body weight training regimen in order to provide a user a full body workout, cardiovascular exercise and weight training simultaneously. The invention does so by employing either a weight tray apparatus configured to newly designed cardiovascular equipment or machine or through the use of an adjustable weight training apparatus combined with the newly designed cardiovascular equipment or machine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment including stationary and recumbent bikes, elliptical machines, treadmills and stair steppers, with a tray apparatus that allows a user to employ free weights. The invention further relates to a system and methods for combining newly designed cardiovascular equipment including stationary and recumbent bikes, elliptical machines, treadmills and stair steppers that are configured with an adjustable weight training apparatus that allows a user to build upper body muscle groups simultaneously with cardiovascular exercise, in effect, providing a full body workout.
