Capacity is at units/hour/operator-machine. Capacity then depends on the number of resources available, and that includes the number of shifts available. The program determines the duration of the job based on the resources, shifts, and active time during shifts (breaks and meals are excluded). The capacity planning module will stack up the requirements for multiple jobs on the same day and either require the user to add resources, or extend the completion time.
Once the extensive setup requirements are met, the user may add a resource assignment. There are two views available in the Production Capacity Setup module. The Capacity Summary screen and the Activity Capacity View screen.
From there, the user can enter the Dynamic Production Scheduling module and re-schedule Work Orders.
There is also the opportunity to graphically view the Capacity Critical Path.
