The biggest change on how FRH's are calculated is in the past - way past - an independent firm would actually take an experienced mechanic, task them with a job they were ( supposed) not familiar with. Then do the job 3 times start to finish, then take an average of that time. Think Motor Age or Chilton manuals - who would then sell them to independent shops at a pretty hefty price.
Fast forward. This technique is just impractical today with the huge number of manufacturers and models. So all FRH today is based on manufacturer warranty time with a multiplier of @50 to 100%. Problem is warranty time is awful, especially with modern complex vehicles.
