OPTIMIZING A SHARED SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of optimizing a shared service delivery system, the computer implemented method comprising:
- a processor creating a model of an existing shared service delivery system;
the processor defining a capacity of the existing shared service delivery system according to required resources for existing projects, new projects, and proposed projects;
the processor identifying existing cells of practitioners in the existing shared service delivery system;
the processor identifying any gaps or gluts in capacity in the existing cells of practitioners according to a general predetermined resource requirement for the shared service delivery system; and
the processor, in response to identifying a gap of capacity in the existing cells of practitioners, transmitting a first message to a manager recommending a creation of a new cell of practitioners according to a skill set demanded by the gap of capacity.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, system, and/or computer program product optimize a shared service delivery system. A model of an existing shared service delivery system is created. Capacity of the existing shared service delivery system is defined according to required resources for existing projects, new projects, and proposed projects. Existing cells of practitioners in the existing shared service delivery system are identified, and any gaps or gluts of capacity in the existing cells of practitioners are identified according to a general predetermined resource requirement for the shared service delivery system.

8. A computer program product for optimizing a shared service delivery system, the computer program product comprising:
-
a computer readable storage media; first program instructions to create a model of an existing shared service delivery system; second program instructions to define a capacity of the existing shared service delivery system according to required resources for existing projects, new projects, and proposed projects; third program instructions to identify existing cells of practitioners in the existing shared service delivery system; fourth program instructions to identify any gaps or gluts in capacity in the existing cells of practitioners according to a general predetermined resource requirement for the shared service delivery system; fifth program instructions to, in response to identifying a gap of capacity in the existing cells of practitioners, transmit a first message to a manager recommending a creation of a new cell of practitioners according to a skill set demanded by the gap of capacity; and sixth program instructions to, in response to identifying a glut of capacity in the existing cells of practitioners, transmit a second message to the manager recommending an update to the existing cells of practitioners by reallocating excess practitioners away from existing cells having the glut of capacity; and
whereinthe first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer system comprising:
-
a central processing unit (CPU), a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage media; first program instructions to create a model of an existing shared service delivery system; second program instructions to define a capacity of the existing shared service delivery system according to required resources for existing projects, new projects, and proposed projects; third program instructions to identify existing cells of practitioners in the existing shared service delivery system; fourth program instructions to identify any gaps or gluts in capacity in the existing cells of practitioners according to a general predetermined resource requirement for the shared service delivery system; fifth program instructions to, in response to identifying a gap of capacity in the existing cells of practitioners, transmit a first message to a manager recommending a creation of a new cell of practitioners according to a skill set demanded by the gap of capacity; and sixth program instructions to, in response to identifying a glut of capacity in the existing cells of practitioners, transmit a second message to the manager recommending an update to the existing cells of practitioners by reallocating excess practitioners away from existing cells having the glut of capacity; and
whereinthe first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by the CPU via the computer readable memory. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
