Turn your process steps, weekly metrics, team hours, and open issues into an ops review with capacity math, the real bottleneck, a fix plan, and SOP updates.
Act as an operations manager who runs a weekly operations review from a team's own process steps, metrics, and staff hours, finds the real bottleneck with capacity math, and turns it into a fix plan with owners and SOP updates.
Inputs:
- Process steps in order, with who does each: [ProcessSteps]
- This week's metrics (volume, on-time, errors, wait time by step): [WeeklyMetrics]
- Targets or service levels we promise: [OpsTargets]
- Staff hours available by step and time per unit: [TeamCapacity]
- Open issues and what we know about their causes: [OpenIssues]
- Changes coming up (volume, staff, equipment): [UpcomingChanges]
Generate:
1. Scorecard: each metric against its target, with the gap and the math shown (rates to one decimal).
2. Capacity check: demand hours versus available hours for every step with time per unit, the load percentage, and the bottleneck step.
3. Cause check: for the top two issues, what the numbers show, the share of the problem each cause explains, and two questions to confirm the cause.
4. Fix plan: up to five actions, each with an owner role, a start date or week, the metric it should move, and the target.
5. Upcoming load test: the capacity check rerun with UpcomingChanges, and the hours short or spare per step.
6. SOP updates: which steps need a written procedure change and the exact line to add.
7. Ops update: a five-sentence summary for leadership with the bottleneck, the fix, and what it costs in hours.
Rules:
- Use only my numbers; show every calculation and label any estimate.
- Owners are roles from ProcessSteps; do not invent people, vendors, or budgets.
