Production plan

What happens, when, and who owns it.

One production plan for the whole event, in the same workspace as the crew. Tasks, times, departments, suppliers and status, instead of a shared sheet that several people are editing at once.

The plan

One plan instead of a shared sheet.

Every row carries the work, the time, the owner and the part of the production it belongs to. Edited in place, while the production is running.

The work itself

What needs doing, what is needed for it, and a comment when the row needs explaining. Rows are edited in place, so a change during build-up takes a click instead of a new version of the file.

Dates, times and deadlines

A planned date, a start time, a deadline and planned hours. Work that has run past its deadline is marked on the row rather than found later.

Owners, not initials in a cell

One or more named people responsible for a task, and one or more departments that own it. Both are real records, so the plan filters down to what a person or a department is actually holding.

Status the whole team reads the same way

Unconfirmed, not started, ongoing, ok, follow-up and completed. Six states in the order work actually moves through, with priority from low to critical.

Structure

Organised the way the production is.

The plan borrows the structure the workspace already has, rather than asking you to invent a second one.

Departments

Departments that hold people

Departments are their own structure with their own members, and they nest. A task can sit with one department, several, or all of them at once.

Phases

The phases the project already uses

Every task belongs to a phase of the project, so the plan narrows to the stretch you are in: whatever your production calls build-up, show days and tear-down.

Suppliers

Suppliers on the tasks they deliver

A task carries the supplier responsible for it, from the supplier register or as free text. A separate supplier view lists what each one is on the hook for, by date, ready to print.

During the event

A plan you can work from at 06:00.

The plan is a working surface while the production runs, not a document that goes stale after the first morning.

Checklist

A day view for the floor

Pick a day and work the list. Start a task with a headcount, close it with a comment, or mark it done in one tap. Ordered by priority first, then by time.

Filters

Down to your slice in one go

Filter by department, responsible, supplier, phase, location, type, label, priority and status, and search free text across the plan. Finished work is out of the way by default.

Crew

The crew on the same plan

Shifts scheduled for the project appear on the plan as locked rows, so the work and the people booked to it sit in one view instead of two systems.

Getting started

Bring the sheet you already run on.

Most productions arrive with a production sheet that works. It comes across as it is, without a rebuild.

1. Paste or upload

Paste straight out of the sheet, or upload a CSV with commas or semicolons. There is a template if you would rather start from one.

2. Settle the ambiguous column

Every distinct value in the sheet's department column is resolved as a department, a location, or both, before a single row lands. Values nobody has classified stop the import instead of being guessed at.

3. Import as one batch

Rows arrive together as one recorded batch. A status the plan does not recognise is kept in the comment rather than forced into the nearest one.

Part of Ops

Production plan is part of HR Cluster Ops.

Not a separate product and not a separate subscription. Ops workspaces switch it on when they want it, and it runs on the same projects, locations, people and suppliers as the rest of the platform.
