What operations directors ask about the labour plan.
Why it moved someone, whether moves are safe, what data it needs, and how it reaches your reporting.
What operations directors ask about the plan.
Can we see why it moved someone?
Yes. The plan is deterministic, so the same forecast gives the same plan. One switch compares it with the plan where nobody moves, and the difference is shown in hours and pounds.
Will it move people into work they cannot do?
No. Moves are only made between areas a person is trained for in the skills matrix, and every move carries a movement cost so the plan does not shuffle people for nothing.
What data does it need?
Forecast volumes, standard minutes for each task, the efficiency each area achieves, your colleagues and who is trained for what. Libra maps your existing data to those tables.
Can it plan more than one site?
Yes. Each plant can be planned on its own, the distribution centre by task, and the estate together, so trained spare heads at one site can cover another site's peak.
How does it reach our reporting?
Through a published API with scoped keys. A labour-facts feed gives Power BI the plan by day, site, area and hour, joined to the forecast and standards behind it.
