Resource & Capacity Planning
Every capacity plan is a guess about a collision. Committed work on one side, available hours and machines on the other, and a hope that they line up. When they do not, you find out late — a week where two lines need the same crew, a month where a third of the team is on leave and the quarter’s biggest job is due. The information to predict it existed in three places. Putting those three places together was a half-day of spreadsheet work that nobody had a half-day for.
Skynet does the reconciling continuously. It reads committed demand from the systems that hold it, real availability from the systems that hold that, and tells you where the collisions are while there is still room to move something.
How it works
Pull demand and supply into one view
Connect the project or order system that holds committed work, and the HR, scheduling, and asset systems that hold who and what is available. Unified memory lets the agent compare things that have never sat in the same table.
Model the collisions ahead
Ask it to project forward across your planning horizon. It works out where committed work exceeds available capacity, by how much, and in which weeks — accounting for leave, maintenance windows, and the skills a given job actually needs.
See the options
For each overload, the agent proposes ways out: shift a job, move a resource, bring in cover, or flag that the date needs to change. Each option comes with its knock-on effects, because moving one job is never just moving one job.
Decide, then let it update everything
You pick. The agent applies the change across the systems that need to know and tells the people the change affects. The plan and reality stay the same document.
Build it from a prompt
Give it your horizon and your constraints.
Good capacity planning is mostly early warning. Three weeks out, an overload is a scheduling conversation. On the day, it is overtime, a missed date, and someone’s weekend. The agent’s job is to keep you in the first situation.
