Checking Work Center Utilization

Before you can use the Resource Scheduling apps you must assign at least one work center to yourself. If your planning involves several work centers, you must assign each required work center to yourself.

These assigned work centers appear in the Resource Scheduling apps. You can visualize work center utilization and create and track schedules.

Also, if there is an overload for a certain work center you can move work to another work center by changing the work center of the corresponding operation.

The work load of orders which are called from a maintenance plan within preventive maintenance is considered by Resource Scheduling in the Chart View of app Resource Scheduling for Maintenance Planners.

In this case the work load for a work center is already displayed in the chart when the maintenance plan has been scheduled and shows a plan date with status Scheduled Hold. This means that the order does not have to be called. The only prerequisite is that a task list with operations containing a work has been assigned.

The work load of manually created orders is also displayed in the chart - depending on the assigned work in the operations.
