Resource planning for QA/QC lab operations
Binocs aligns resource demand & capacity.A web-based business application that helpsskilled people to deliver on time.
Why Resource Planning?
“Will we be able to deliver the services
demanded in the next months?”“And how?”
Team sizing- “It is clear that my team is not sized correctly, but I lack the
hard facts to prove it.”
Team flexing- “I want to move resources and tests between teams, but which
ones and when?”
Do the right things- “Which improvement projects should I start first?”
Collaborate- “Supply chain asks me for service levels. I have no idea If I can
meet their requirements.”
Business planning- “The yearly budget cycle is always a nightmare. It consumes a
lot of time for a minimal result.”
why
