1.1. Create a Graph

The following screen will appear:
 
 
To create a graph, select Work Center(s), by clicking on the appropriate radial     If One is chosen the Work Order Selection screen will appear:
 
 
Highlight a Work Center.

Decide what period you want the graph to cover, Daily, Weekly or Monthly.
 
Type in the From date. Depress the      button to generate the graph.   
 
 
 
The bar graph will include all jobs that affect the load (including jobs that are on any type of Hold), so users are not misled about the available capacity.   The grid below will display the status of the job and if the user feels that a job should not be included they may re-schedule it to a future date.
 
 
To display the detail click on the bar within the BLUE and the detail information for that date will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.  The WOs display at the bottom of the screen are sorted by complete date (disregarding the time).  User may sort the display at the bottom of the screen, by depressing any of the Header titles.   The GREEN on the bar means NO capacity and the RED on the bar means over capacity. 
 
 
 
A drill down to the Production Schedule module is available within this screen.  If user double clicks on a specific Work Order number in the "Work Order" column the Production Schedule module will open for that work order on the schedule screen, so user may view, edit, etc.  When user is finished viewing the Production Schedule module, they may depress the exit button, and it will bring you back to the Capacity Critical Path screen.
 
Note:  The graph and the grid may get out of synchronization. If that happens simply click on the “3D/2D” button. The graph button will work also, but may take longer because it will go through the whole process of collecting the data again.
