Capacity planning
Capacity planning consists in evaluating the production capacity needed by an organization to demands for its services, products and other projects.
The capacity is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of completing in a given timeframe.
A discrepancy between the capacity of an organization and demands results in inefficiency, in under-utilized resources or unfulfilled customers (which can be internal or external). The goal of PlanningForce is to minimize this discrepancy.
Demand for an organization's capacity varies based on periods, customer needs, delayed projects or new ones.
It is then important to have tools that allow managers to compare resource usage on a long term period, according to predictions and goals.
PlanningForce does it... It is now easy to simulate the future, make clear decisions and evaluate their impact on capacity, resource usage, costs and, of course, on customer fulfillment.
