Calculate Actual Task Type Time Share

Explanation

This activity is used to calculate the actual task time share. The actual task type time share shows how a specific worker divides his time between different task types. This value is useful when planning the resource situation. It is the effective time share that is used in the system for planning reasons and not the actual time share. However, it is possible to update the effective time share with the actual time share at all times.

The task type time share calculation is based on the warehouse tasks that have been performed during a specified period. The calculation is grouped by site, warehouse worker, and warehouse task type.

The result of the calculation is the actual time share, in percent, that the worker spends on different task types. This value is displayed in the Actual Time Share column in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker/Task Type tab.

Prerequisites

In order for the calculation to give any result, at least one warehouse task of this type must have been performed on this site by the specific warehouse worker during the selected period.

System Effects

The actual task type time share will be calculated either for one or for all warehouse workers on a specific site, based on the warehouse tasks executed during the selected period. The actual time share is updated in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker/Task Type tab.
