Work Center Load Window

Shows an overview of availability at the current work center. With this overview, you can see the capacity, the allocated quantity, availability after order, and the load in percent at this work center.

The Period column on the left contains a series of dates that are determined by the time interval you have selected. You change the time interval in the View by field.

The columns in the window display the following:

Column Description

Capacity

The capacity is the amount of work that can be done in a specified time period at this work center. To see the calendar entries for this work center in a specific time period, click the amount in the capacity column.

Allocated Qty.

The allocated quantity is the amount of capacity that is needed to produce a desired output in a given time period. To see the Prod. Order Capacity Need entries for this work center in a specific time period, click the amount in the allocated quantity column.

Availability After Orders

The available capacity is the capacity of this work center that is not used in the planning of a given time period.

Load

The load is the sum of the required times for all planned and actual orders to be run on the work center in a specified time period.

Important

If you have set the time interval to Day and you need to scroll far ahead or backwards, you can do it faster by shifting to a larger interval such as Quarter. When you have found the desired period, you can shift back to smaller intervals to see the data in greater detail.
