Planning and Scheduling for Operational Management and Staff

Do you ever ask any of these questions?

• Am I managing my resources for maximum benefit?

• How can we meet our production schedules using our current resource levels? We never have enough people in the right place at the right time.

• How can we reduce the use of expensive external contractors to meet peaks in demand?

• How do we reduce the excessive under- or over-utilization of our staff to meet the peaks and troughs in projects or activities?

• What are our future resource requirements going to be, given that our schedules are customer driven and appear too volatile to enable effective planning?
