| # Attribute Group - Preferred Resources (tsspc0120m100) Use this session to maintain the groups of resources based on specific attribute / attribute value combinations. Note For service orders you can define only a preferred engineer. For work orders and planned activities you can define only a preferred department. Related topics Group planning process Group planning data set-up Resource allocation for group planning Workload leveling (scheduling) Handling Slack Workload leveling and modification in the plan. Attribute Group ID The unique ID of the attribute group for which the preferred engineers is defined. Description The description or name of the code. Activity Origin The origin of the order activities to be grouped. Allowed values Activity Origin Used for Resource Allocation If this check box is selected, the attribute group is used for resource allocation. Note This check box must be selected if the Used for Workload Leveling check box is not selected. Used for Workload Leveling If this check box is selected, the attribute group is used for workload leveling. Note This check box must be selected if the Used for Resource Allocation check box is not selected. Number of Groups The number of groups you create for a unique set of attribute values. Note This field is enabled only if the Used for Workload Leveling check box is selected. By default, the value is set to two. You can modify the value. Lower Limit Standard Deviation of Work Load The lower limit you set as the standard deviation. The planning engines perform the workload leveling geographically to reset the total of activity duration and travel duration across groups until the standard deviation is reached. Note By default, the value is set to 0.00. This field is enabled only if the Used for Workload Leveling check box is selected and the Activity Origin is set to Service Order or Planned Activity. Unit The measurement unit for Lower Limit Standard Deviation of Work Load. The deviation is expressed in the Time Duration Unit set in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session. Maximum Indicative Length of Route The maximum indicative length of the route calculated by the planning engineer when workload leveling is performed. The maximum value can be set up individually for each group of attribute values. This calculation helps avoid long routes. Note This field is enabled only if the Used for Workload Leveling check box is selected and the Activity Origin is set to Service Order or Planned Activity. Unit The measurement unit for Maximum Indicative Length of Route. The length of route is expressed in the Distance Unit set in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session. |
