Visualize Resource Capacity

[fred_s]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to visualize resource capacity.

For example dep. Welding, 5 employees, 40 available hours per day (5*8).

projects:
LOAD * INLINE [
Project, Dep, Startdate, Enddate, Hrneeded
1, Welding, 2013-10-1, 2013-10-31, 600
2, Welding, 2013-10-14, 2013-10-28, 600
];

We're probably not gonna make it with 1200 hours to go and approx. 920 hours available (23 working days * 40 hours).

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance..

Hi,

I tried to think somethings but it is very difficult.

You have to add a calendar table with the working days, an employee table (with dep and parttimeif needed).

But the problem I found is that from 2013-10-14 the 5 employees could work on project 1 or 2, not both

Hi,

It's exactly what I need to visualize.
They can start Project 1 and produce 600 hours, finished before the Enddate 2013-10-31. After 15 working days they start Project 2, but there's not enough capacity/time to finish 600 hours before 2013-10-28.

I'll have to visualize that there's a problem.
Or maybe in the future visualize there's overcapacity.

Would be Ideal if the number of hours required is equal to the capacity 🙂
