Long-term, strategic management of resources
Optimum staff capacity planning is a key success factor that contributes to a company’s competitiveness in the long term. Personnel capacity planning confronts planners with the challenge of adapting capacity to requirements in the medium to long term. When planning personnel capacity, the aim is to efficiently harmonize unstable order situations in volatile markets in the face of fluctuating customer and visitor flows. After all: only with the right deployment of resources can companies tap into their full potential in terms of costs, service and sales orientation.
All data in view all the time when planning staff capacity
For optimum resource planning, personnel planners need a solution that makes long-term capacity levels and demand visible and manageable at all times – not just providing the necessary insights at the monthly, weekly or daily level. This is now available with capacity planning from ATOSS. The software takes all factors into account that impact on personnel capacity, providing flexibly definable aggregation levels in terms of time and organizational structure. Capacity planning covers all the important staff data – from general personnel structure such as full-time, part-time and temps through to comp time, vacation, sickness and qualifications.
Use capacity planning to increase productivity
The integration of absentee rates immediately reveals deviations between gross and net capacity as compared to demand. This significantly increases transparency in capacity planning, indicating potential options that give organizations strategic benefits in terms of project management and in relation to specific projects.
For example, long-term planning of departmental or site changes or early commissioning of external service providers can be used to selectively cover shortfall, thereby raising the service level. Annual holiday planning adapted to low-demand phases and shifting of staff hours over a year-long period can be used to increase strategic flexibility in the deployment of resources. Expensive, unproductive working hours are measurably reduced by means of optimum capacity planning. What is more, planning reliability increases staff satisfaction. ATOSS capacity planning allows companies and staff to benefit from optimum resource management.
