      <Paragraph>To optimize the balance of the assembly line, you can analyze
		the capacity and the actual use of the line. This way you can detect
		bottlenecks, where the line capacity is exceeded, or unused capacity. The
		results of the analysis are displayed in a chart.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The workload is the amount of man and/or machine hours that is
		spent on a certain work place. This work place can be a line station, line
		segment, main work center, or the assembly line.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The available capacity is the amount of man and/or machine hours
		available on a certain work place.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The workload can be analyzed on different levels of precision.
		This is important because a more detailed analysis can show bottlenecks that
		were not visible on a global level.</Paragraph>

         <ListItem>This session only displays the workload and capacity, but does
		  not warn you if bottlenecks occur, or opportunities exist to enhance the line
		  balance. You must detect these things yourselves.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc5401m000" role="session">Print Operation Analysis (tiasc5401m000)</GUIRef> session to print a report that displays where
		  the operation time exceeds the available time.</ListItem>

      <SectionTitle>Parameters and settings</SectionTitle>
      <List>
         <ListIntro>The capacity of the line is determined by the following
		  parameters and settings:</ListIntro>
         <ListItem>The calendar. The calendar is defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp" role="module">Calendars and Periods</GUIRef> module in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc" role="package">Common</GUIRef>.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc0100m000#tiasc000.aact" role="manual">Availability Type</GUIRef> parameter. This parameter is
		  defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc0100m000" role="session">Assembly Control Parameters (tiasc0100m000)</GUIRef> session.
		  The availability type is the link between resources and a calendar.</ListItem>
         <ListItem>The non-average line station level assignments. These
		  assignments are defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc5510m000" role="session">Assembly Line - Assignments (tiasc5510m000)</GUIRef> and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc5520m000" role="session">Assembly Line - Assignments and Line Stations (tiasc5520m000)</GUIRef> sessions. The
		  non-average assignments define the number of resources, that is, man and
		  machines that are available for a line station.</ListItem>
      </List>
      <Paragraph>Because assembly order planning takes the line capacity into
		account, these parameters are also important for the actual workload, although
		the actual workload can exceed the capacity.</Paragraph>
