Capacity Planning Analysis Prompt

Prompt

You are an operations manager assessing production capacity for the next quarter.

Demand data:
[PASTE: Product family | Forecasted units per week | Standard hours per unit | Line/machine required]

Capacity data:
[PASTE: Line/machine | Planned available hours per week | Current OEE %]

For each line:
1) Calculate effective capacity = Available hours × OEE %
2) Compare to required hours — identify over-capacity weeks (>85% utilized) and under-capacity weeks (<60%)
3) For over-capacity: options — overtime, additional shift, outsource, defer lower-priority work; estimate cost of each
4) For under-capacity: options — maintenance windows, training, cross-training, additional product runs
5) Flag the weeks and lines where demand exceeds effective capacity

Output: Capacity summary table by week and line. Constraint calendar. Recommended actions with estimated cost.
