How to use it
- Review the fictional Intake, Review and Quality example before entering your own data.
- On Workload, enter work type, team, weekly volume and average minutes per item in the amber columns.
- On Team, enter headcount, weekly hours per person, shrinkage and planning utilization. Enter percentages as decimal values such as 0.20 for 20%.
The included guide continues with definitions, review steps and product-specific limits.
Before you choose
Demand hours = weekly volume × average handling minutes / 60.
Productive capacity = headcount × weekly hours × (1 − shrinkage) × planning utilization. Shrinkage represents absence, meetings and training; planning utilization reserves a further portion of working time.
