| # Rough Capacity Utilization Overview by Work Center (tipcs4560m000) Use this session to display the rough capacity utilization by work center. Work Center A specific production area consisting of one or more people and/or machines with identical capabilities, that can be considered as one unit for purposes of the capacity requirement planning and detailed scheduling. Year/Week Enter the year number for which you want to display the estimated utilization of the selected work center. / Enter the week number for which you want to display the estimated utilization of the selected work center. Project A collection of manufacturing and purchasing actions that are performed especially for a particular customer order. A project is initiated by a customer order for items having a To Order order policy. The purpose of a project is to plan and coordinate the production of these items. For a standard-to-order production, the project is only used to link the item with the customer order. Otherwise, a project can include: Customized item data (BOMs and routings) Project planning (activity planning) A budget is a special type of project. A budget is used to plan and estimate, not to carry out production. Related topics Project types Activity This code identifies an activity in the network planning for a project. Rough Capacity Required The globally required capacity in man hours or machine hours for the execution of an activity in the relevant week. Reduced Capacity Required The globally reduced capacity, such as, the remaining capacity expressed in hours, required for the execution of the activity in the relevant week. The reduced capacity is calculated on the basis of the globally required capacity and is reduced on the basis of the percentage completed (which is normally determined using the hours spent). Status Indicates the current progress of the project. Hours Spent The hours spent on the activity in the relevant week that have been processed with People. |
