Hi Rocky
 
Thank you for those comments. It put the problems much more clearly.   How 
this job started was that a client of mine running a small manufacturing
plant 
started using MS Project to schedule his production line and  when there was

spare capacity in production it seemed to work. But now  demand has
increased 
30/40% so spare capacity has gone and bottlenecks are  poping up. 
 
His immediate question is how many new staff do I need to meet demand and  
what is my maximum production capacity and how does that vary from planned  
Production capacity?
 
I don't think that I can tinker with Project and give him the reports he  
wants.  So I'm now looking at how to give him some  good news on a temporary

solution. Hence the question on capacity  Planning.
 
I may go the whole hog and suggest a piece of software designed for  the job

but not yet. 
 
Once again Rocky thank you for you comments
