How to estimate team capacity for planned backlog?

Estimating Manufacturing

Riyadh Salih Saskatchewan, Canada

Planned backlog may not be ready to schedule due to various reasons such as timing associated with parts / materials availability, availability of special tools needed for the project, and environmental issues or concern.

As an example we have 10 person work crew with standard 40 hours per week plus 6% overtime allowed each week, we have planned backlog of 200 hours not ready for scheduled and 845 hours of ready work, two of team members scheduled to be on vacation for the week and one team assigned by functional manager to another department rest of team members are required to spend 2 hours per week on computer based training and to attend safety meeting on each Wednesday for 30 minutes from these numbers can you come with numbers for team capacity. capacity impacts and total capacity impacts.

I will compare my numbers with your numbers, thanks to take time to exercise this.

Understood Riyadh, I might get a headache working in manufacturing then ;-)

Sante, I was trying to compare which one has more headache LOL the project on new site or the manufacturing facility which has MRO and upgrade project ongoing.
I enjoy both
