Work Centre Loading Chart
Reference Contents > Capacity Planning > Work Centre Loading Chart
This window shows an analysis of a Work Centre’s Operation loading over its period of activity within the calendar and extent date.
A Work Centre must have been previously selected by clicking on an appropriate list line which is specific to a Work Centre or in the Work Centre List window.
You can view capacity by operating the Analysis by Department menu function. If this is the case the loading will be for all Work Centres that have the same Department as the currently selected Work Centre.
The window has 2 tab panes.
Listing
This shows the loading in a list form.
The analysis uses the Work Operation list data. The Set, Run and Lag hours of loading for each day are shown and a bar chart produced on the right of the list. Each icon block of a bar represents 10% of the available load for that Work Centre. Available load is considered to be Work Centre Available hours times Quantity. The colours represent Set, Run and Lag times. Totals and daily average over the calendar period are shown at the bottom of the window.
If the Ignore Lag in Loading Chart menu option has been set, which is indicated by a check mark on the menu line, all lag times will be ignored in the presentation of the chart and the report.
This window can be left open and you can readily switch between it and others by clicking on the desired window with the mouse. All capacity planning windows operate interactively.
Double-clicking on a loading date line will bring forward the Work Order List window containing a list of all Work Orders or Jobs due to be processed on that day by that Work Centre. This list can be used to select a Work Order or Job Operation and change its due date if re-scheduling is needed. See the Work Order List for details.
