Capacity Planning
Organisations can look at future workloads and analyse any resourcing requirements. The entire organisation's project portfolio can be assessed at any point based on resource availability and suitability.
Accounting for capacity, strategic resourcing decisions can be made, which may result in re-allocating resources to a higher priority, chasing projects with greater return on investment, implementing training programmes or employing new resources.
Powerful Capacity Planning
Where employees are the main asset it is imperative that the most valuable people are assigned to projects with the greatest return on investment.
Atlantic Project Planning and Resourcing provides an accurate and efficient means of tracking employee utilisation and productivity. This can be queried across a number of variables over any time period including chargeable and non-chargeable hours, productive and non-productive work, skill sets, projects, activities, tasks, teams, client accounts, revenue targets and chargeable hours. Depending on preferences, utilisation can be presented in a numeric or graphical format providing information essential for driving profitability and minimising operation costs, as well as ensuring there is the capacity and skill sets to fulfil future workloads.
Find the right people for the right job
Atlantic Project Planning and Resourcing enables organisations to gain optimal results from their most valuable asset - their people. To achieve results efficiently, companies must quickly find the right people and form cross-departmental teams to resolve complex problems. With a limited number of skilled people available, organisations must optimise their processes for staffing teams and include people from different regions to assure that all requirements are met.
Capacity planning - achieving an equitable balance between resource capacity and demand - is a significant issue in today's business environment as companies strive to achieve the highest return on investment from their portfolios. Many companies face the challenge of meeting project requirements without staffing overload or under-utilisation. Having a solution to plan and manage resource capacity and balance it against work demand is a required component of any resource management strategy.
Deploying skilled professionals on the right teams is key to retaining people who can make a difference in the growth of the organisation. Atlantic Project Planning and Resourcing provides the tools to understand the skill sets of individuals and track their development, experience and interest, as well as to manage the entire spectrum of resource requisitioning, searching and assignment of people.
