Embodiment Construction

[0024] In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present methods and systems may be practiced without these details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.

[0025] In Fig. 1, an exemplary capacity planning structure is shown. An exemplary capacity planning system 150 is provided to generate capacity reports showing the status of the total workload and personnel availability of an organization, such as a clearinghouse. Capacity planning system 150 can access information from various data sources such as task input 102 , subtask database 104 , schedule database 106 , employee database 108 , and knowledge database 110 . Based on the information obtained, the capacity planning s...

Abstract

A capacity planning method and system determines whether an organization has sufficient staff to perform tasks. The method and system identify each of a plurality of tasks to be performed by the organization, and identify subtasks associated with each of the plurality of tasks. Production rate information related to the amount of time or the number of staff needed to perform each of the identified subtasks is then determined. Based on the identified subtasks and the production rate information, a work volume is calculated. Staff availability is determined based on staff information related to the number of employees, identities and positions of employees, exempt status of employees, staff outage, the amount of work time that cannot be used to perform the subtasks, the amount of business days, and / or the amount of defined work hours per day. A capacity report is then generated based on the work volume and the staff availability.
