A unit of measure describes the quantity of a particular resource. Labor resources are often measured in units of time, such as hours or days; materials can be measured in cubic or linear feet, or perhaps in tons or kilos; items used one-by-one can be measured individually (EA) or as shipped: a box, a case, a pallet. Money is generally measured in monetary units, such as dollars, Euros, or yen.
