Screen Job Capacity Planner (Simple Model)
A simple capacity model for estimating how many consultations and installs a crew can finish in a week.
Direct answer
Estimate weekly capacity as available tech-hours × (1 − buffer) divided by average hours per visit type—then cap by production readiness, not just calendar slots.
Key takeaways
- Calendar capacity ≠ production capacity.
- Use separate averages for consults vs installs.
- Keep a buffer for warranty and weather.
Simple formula
Weekly install slots ≈ (techs × hours/day × days × 0.75 buffer) ÷ average install hours.
Weekly consult slots ≈ same with consult average hours.
Never sell install slots that production cannot feed.
Using this with ScreenOps
Use dispatch and production visibility to validate the model weekly. Adjust averages from real closeout times rather than optimistic guesses.
