Project-specific Human Resource Capacity Leveling

Once the scheduling of roles and machine types is completed, the view Capacity alignment personnel will help you estimate whether there is sufficient personnel capacities to execute the project or where potential bottlenecks may occur.

The Project-specific capacity alignment personnel is determined by the number of employees, their qualifications, time of employment and place of work (project, subproject). The Capacity alignment personnel not only shows the number of the required hours and days for employees and roles, but also indicates ecxess and shortfall (supply minus demand = contingency). Moreover, the view Project-specific capacity alignment personnel helps you detect employees that match the requirements of the demand.

Employees whose employee hours / days are in boldface, have already been assigned to this activity. If they are displayed in both boldface and red colour, you have an assignation conflict, which means that the employee has been assigned to several activities at one time.

You can use the Project-specific Human Resource Capacity Leveling to do the following:

• Detect overloaded resources as well as the scale and cause for this event.
• View the working capacity for each of the resource role per project.
• Calculate the numbers of work that have been assigned to the individual employees per project.
• Determine the time the employee is available for additional assignments.
