Prompts

Which shared machines create the largest bottleneck?

Machine capacity against demand, with and without shared use – which single units in the fleet set the pace.

All people, companies and projects shown are synthetic Rillsoft sample data – from the shipped industry packages or, where stated, from a test project.

The prompt

Which shared machines create the largest bottleneck? Compare demand and units per machine type.

Changes the project (one undo step)

In your words

  • Construction: On which days do more tasks need the mobile crane than there are units in the fleet?
  • Manufacturing: When do series ramp-up and retooling compete for the third assembly line?

What you need

  • An open project or portfolio with a machine fleet.
  • Read-only mode is not enough: the AI switches the machine capacity view – one undo step; project data stays untouched.
  • Machines are included in the sample packages mechanical engineering, manufacturing and construction.

What you get

In the sample package Construction and modernisation the mobile crane is a single unit in the fleet. Four tasks of the base-load project Running building sites share it in the first quarter of 2027 (4 January to 31 March) – without shared use each would claim it, four against one on all 61 working days; with shared use recorded it stays at one against one. The package’s largest bottleneck is another unit: the Facade scaffold 500 m², one unit, peak demand two, above capacity on 61 working days of the first quarter, followed by the concrete pump (10 days) and the tower crane (7 days). The answer names per machine type units, peak demand, days above capacity and the tasks sharing the unit.
Machine capacity planning by machine type, first quarter 2027, week 1:2: facade scaffold 500 m² with shortfall −488 (50 %) in every week, concrete pump −80 (28 %), tower crane −56 (47 %), mobile crane 30 t without shortfall; below the facade scaffold chart with demand 2 against capacity 1
Machine capacity in the first quarter: the facade scaffold is the bottleneck – two jobs against one unit, week after week; the shared mobile crane stays covered

Why it is useful

Single units such as crane, concrete pump or machining centre decide the construction sequence. The answer shows whether the bottleneck is real or only a missing shared-use entry.

How the answer is produced

The AI sets the machine capacity view, reads the report and adds the tasks with shared use from the project tree. What is shared counts once in the report.

Limits

Two projects needing the same single unit at the same time remain two claims; shared use applies per project. Material has no supply and appears in no bottleneck analysis. The Rillsoft Project product page describes machines as resources.
