Well visualized production plan<\/a> can help to find idling and full capacity. If gaps are found beforehand, they are opportunities to produce more. Otherwise, they just decrease efficiency. Similarly, full capacity can mean higher productivity or bottleneck that leads to delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several ways to represent the production plan – a list of orders, calendar, and various charts. Regarding capacity, the most useful and easy is Gantt chart<\/a>. Depending on how the data is grouped, it can be used for scheduling resources as well as for project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
