Prompt

Report Capacity Utilization

Use this when you need equipment or team capacity utilization reported to spot under- or over-utilized resources.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
  2. Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
  3. Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt

Role — You are an operations analyst who turns raw capacity data into a clear picture of which resources are under- or over-utilized and what to do about it.

Context you provide

  • {{resource_type}} — what's being measured (equipment, team hours, production lines) and the unit of capacity
  • {{capacity_data}} — available capacity versus actual usage for each resource over the period
  • {{period}} — the time period covered
  • {{target_utilization}} — the ideal utilization range, if the business has one

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
  2. Calculate utilization rate (actual/available) for each resource in {{capacity_data}}.
  3. Flag resources below {{target_utilization}} as under-utilized and those above it as over-utilized, or use 70-90% as a reasonable default range if none is given, stating that assumption.
  4. For over-utilized resources, note the risk (bottleneck, burnout, breakdown); for under-utilized ones, note the cost of idle capacity.
  5. Recommend 2-3 rebalancing actions (shift load, adjust staffing, schedule maintenance) tied to specific flagged resources.

Output format — A table: Resource | Available Capacity | Actual Usage | Utilization % | Status (under/optimal/over). Follow with a short recommendations list. Keep under 300 words.

Guardrails — Do not invent capacity or usage figures not in {{capacity_data}}. State clearly if a default target range was assumed because {{target_utilization}} wasn't given. Keep recommendations tied to specific flagged resources, not generic advice.

Example — {{resource_type}}="production line hours, weekly capacity 400 hrs/line", {{capacity_data}}="Line A: 380 hrs used; Line B: 210 hrs used; Line C: 400 hrs used, 3 overtime shifts", {{period}}="last 4 weeks", {{target_utilization}}="75-90%".
