The work to be accomplished represents the cornerstone of scheduling. <\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This work represents the business of any organization and it is crucial to translate that business into actionable work with the appropriate duration.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All businesses have a product and\/or service that they provide their customers. Products take time to build and services take time to provide. If you are a car manufacturer, you don\u2019t simply schedule people and tell each of them to build a car. That car is broken down into thousands of processes and assembly line tasks. Each task takes a certain amount of time and these tasks are synchronized so that cars get assembled at a certain pace or cadence.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The same thing goes for a retail store. A certain amount of customers is expected and people are required to service these customers. There will be a direct relationship between the amount of sales or customers and the employees that will support these sales.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The workload is the result of the translation of the business products into manageable, measurable, and assignable activities and tasks. Future text will detail how to translate your business into a workload that makes sense.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One thing to remember about the workload is that it evolves and changes just as your business grows. Therefore, even though you did a great job of quantifying your workload last year, you probably need to do it again this year. A mistake done at the quantifying stage of the workload has a domino and an amplifying effect on your operations costs later down the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
