that's the producers job, not the studio manager. When the producer screws up and alots too little time, THEN the studio manager gets to start his juggling act.....
the studio manager is to make sure things are on the books, drum up busiiness, and keep people happy. Not schedule "X" amount of hours for a job. They can offer suggestions, but beyond a little mellow suggestion, you'll only piss off your clients, so.....the client is always right.
I have one client that CONSISTANTLY books 50% less time than he needs. Always, always, always. If I tell him he needs more, it only pisses him off. So I let him create his own problem, then I solve it for him. For a cost.
Don't manage your clients, manage your studio.
