Calculate Labor Capacity for Manufacturing

Explanation

This activity is used to calculate the labor capacity for the labor classes on a site. The calculation for each labor class is based on individuals or groups.

• If Capacity Calc Base field in Manufacturing Labor Class window is set as Individuals then the capacity will be calculated based on the parameters defined on the Manufacturing Labor Class/Person tab.
• If set as Group, then the capacity will be calculated based on the parameters defined on the Manufacturing Labor Class/Group tab.

The calculation can also include a capacity calculation for manufacturing qualifications. You can perform the calculation for one site at a time or for all the sites to which you have access. You can also schedule this as a scheduled task. The calculation is done from the date of initiation to the date specified in the Calculation to Date field. When there is no date specified in the Calculation to Date field, the last date that an operation is scheduled with a labor requirement is considered as the calculation to date.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, you will need to have at least one person or group resource quantities connected to a labor class on the site and that resource needs to be available for at least one day in the time interval.

Persons with any of the following prerequisites will not get any capacity:

• Persons with blocked validity.
• Persons belonging to a blocked labor class.
• Persons with check box Use HR Schedule selected, but without a valid HR schedule for any employee connected to the person.
• Persons with check box Use HR Schedule selected, but without any employee connected to the person.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, the available and theoretical man hours for labor class and each qualification profile stored in the database for each day is updated. The stored data will later be used to generate the Employee Qualification Demand Graph window as well as the available and theoretical capacity for manufacturing labor class.

Procedure

You can perform the capacity calculation either as a background job executed once (Procedure A) or by scheduling the task to execute as a background job at a specified time or on a (Procedure B).

Procedure A:

1. Open the Calculate Labor Capacity for Manufacturing dialog box.
2. Enter the site for which you want to run the capacity calculation in the Site field. Enter % as the site if you want to do the calculation for all the sites to which you have access.
3. Enter the date up to which you need to calculate the labor capacity and the qualification availability data in the Calculation to Date field. When the Calculation to Date is kept blank, the last date when an operation is scheduled with a labor requirement is considered as the calculation to date.
4. Select the Calculate Person Qualification Availability check box if you also want to calculate the qualification availability for the site(s).
5. Click OK.

Procedure B:

1. Open the Calculate Labor Capacity for Manufacturing dialog box.
2. Click Schedule to open the Create new task schedule window.
3. Set the required scheduling parameters and save. Define the number of days to be set ahead of the calculation from the date the task runs in the Execution Offset To field.

Note: Scheduled tasks can be seen in the Scheduled Database Tasks window.

The Calculate Labor Capacity for Manufacturing dialog box can be opened by right-clicking the header of the Manufacturing Labor Class window.
