Capacity & Scheduling
What has a finite amount of time in it, how much of it is already spoken for, and which machine does what at which hour.

| Screen | Kind | What it is | Columns | Fields | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity Board | Workspace | What every resource is being asked for against what it has, drawn as a bar per period with the available line across it. Where the bottleneck is, seen rather than argued about. | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Scheduling Board | Workspace | The Gantt. One board serves a work center, a factory line and a delivery vehicle, because the shape of the problem is identical and three near-identical boards would be three near-identical bugs. | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Capacity Resources | List | Anything with a finite amount of time in it: a work center, a crew, a vehicle, a driver. One list for all of them, because a factory whose bottleneck is its delivery fleet is a real and common situation. | 12 | 25 | 0 |
| Capacity Calendars | List | When a resource is actually available. Shifts, holidays, planned maintenance, a second crew on Saturday. One row per day, because the exception is the point. | 10 | 9 | 0 |
| Capacity Load | Read-only list | What a plan asks of a resource in a period against what it has. The row a finite run reads before it dares to schedule anything into a period. | 12 | 0 | 0 |
| Schedules | List | One board: this set of resources, over this window. A factory schedule, a work center schedule and a vehicle schedule are the same document with a different resource kind on it. | 12 | 11 | 1 |
