When nominal headcount and actual availability diverge
Workforce planning based solely on master employee data is insufficient; the actual available workforce is what matters.
Typical challenges include:
- Absences are managed in separate systems
- Production planners are notified too late about absent employees
- Replacements must be organized on short notice
- Changes result in a heavy coordination workload
- Actual staffing capacity is difficult to determine
