Prompt

Inputs: [TASK TIMES], [STAFF AVAILABILITY], [DEMAND PATTERN]. Calculate a simple capacity range with setup, interruptions and rework as explicit assumptions. Identify the bottleneck and a small measurement plan. Output: A weekly capacity table, assumptions and trigger for reviewing staffing. Check: Units and available hours reconcile; no precision beyond the data. If essential information is missing, identify it rather than filling the gap with a guess. Show the arithmetic behind the range and identify whether demand data represent a typical week.
