Schedule accuracy analysis

Planned vs actual work time

We compare planned time and roster adherence to actual execution and improve planning accuracy.

Problem

Planned and actual work time diverge, and roster changes erode accuracy, leading to unreliable forecasts and capacity plans.

Solution

We provide a variance map and refined planning parameters that improve accuracy, including roster adherence.

Our approach

We identify which processes and roles deviate from the plan and where roster swaps or ad hoc changes distort staffing.

We refine planning parameters and capacity models and flag when different headcount or skill mixes appear in a shift to deliver more accurate forecasts.

Use cases

  • Customer service rosters – planned vs actual load
  • Shift planning – peak coverage accuracy
  • Warehouse operations – handover-driven variance
  • Contact centers – forecast accuracy improvements
