At my institution we are currently debating what constitutes a reasonable lead time for conservation related work (including condition assessment, treatment proposal and agreement, conservation treatment, treatment photography and documentation, design and fabrication of any necessary exhibit mounts, and packing for travel) for artifacts destined to go out on exhibition or loan. While to some extent this has to be determined on a case by case basis; for broad planning purposes what would constitute a generalized expectation of person hours per artifact? If any other mid-size to large museums have policy or procedural documents relating to this that they are willing to share, it would be very helpful in informing our discussions.
