Production Capacity Planning Spreadsheet for Excel, Labor Hours and Work Center Load Planner
Production Capacity Planner: Compare available productive labor hours with scheduled job requirements. Enter people, shift hours, breaks and efficiency for each center/day, then add jobs with quantities, standard labor minutes per unit and setup labor hours.
WHAT YOU GET
- Start Here worksheet
- Dashboard worksheet
- Capacity worksheet
- Jobs worksheet
- Clearly marked input and formula cells
- Worked DEMO records and built-in exception checks
SCOPE
100 work-center/day capacity records and 250 jobs per file. This is labor capacity planning, not machine scheduling. Sequence, due dates, materials and job priorities remain manual. Spare capacity at one center may not offset overload elsewhere.
FORMAT & SOFTWARE
Digital download only. No physical item. You receive a ZIP containing the editable XLSX workbook, Quick Start text file and one-business internal-use license. Microsoft Excel desktop 2019 or later / Microsoft 365 is required. Excel software is not included. Other spreadsheet apps, including Google Sheets and Numbers, have not been verified.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Download your ZIP through Etsy in a web browser after payment is confirmed.
2. Extract the ZIP and save a working copy of the XLSX.
3. Read Start Here. Replace the clearly labeled DEMO records in blue input cells.
4. Keep gray formula cells intact and resolve check flags before using the dashboard.
No macros, live carrier feeds, accounting sync, inventory integrations or automatic imports are included. Data entry and business decisions remain yours.
