The Capacity view

A grid of builders down the side and weeks across the top. Each cell is one builder’s week.

Reading a cell

Each cell shows hours booked against hours available, with a bar broken into segments:

Colour	Segment
Red	Overdue — should already be done
Green	Completed
Blue	Still to build
Amber	Stopped — owed, but waiting on somebody
Purple	QC time

Amber is carved out of the blue rather than added beside it: stopped work is still owed, it just cannot be picked up as things stand.

Build hours leave the bar when the build finishes, not when the task does. A task waiting on its QC check keeps its QC hours and drops its build hours, because nobody has to build it again.

The bar is proportional to that builder’s available hours, so a bar running to the end means fully booked.

No hours scheduled

A cell reading “no hours scheduled” means the builder has no availability that week, not that they have nothing to do. Work assigned to a builder with no availability is invisible to capacity planning — enter availability first.

Who is actually crewed

A banner above the grid reports how much of the open work is fully crewed, split three ways:

Need a builder	Nobody is on it at all
Need a QC person	A builder is set, but the task needs QC and no checker is named
Ready	Fully crewed

The two gaps are counted separately because they need different actions, and each chip filters Tasks down to exactly that set. A per-builder need QC person badge shows the same thing for work someone already holds — they cannot finish those as they stand.

This number is usually higher than expected

A task requiring QC is not workable until both people are named, so it counts as not crewed even with a builder on it. That was previously invisible: the status only asked whether a builder was set. Nothing changed on the shop floor — the figure was always this; it just was not shown.

Unassigned Overdue

A separate row, pinned at the top, for work that is late and belongs to nobody. It is the first thing to clear: it counts against no builder, so it is easy to miss.
