Minimum Hours in Work Day

Enter the minimum number of hours in a work day. This number is used in calculating the internal manufacturing day (MDAY) calendar. The MDAY calendar is a list of valid manufacturing days between the MDAY Start and MDAY End date, using the default DSC scheduling shift and holiday definitions to generate the list. A manufacturing day is defined as those days set up in the MDAY Start and End range, greater than or equal to the hours in this field. For example, if Minimum Hours in Work Day is set to eight hours, and the total hours in the DSC scheduling shift for Monday is 7.5, Monday is not considered a valid manufacturing day.

Caution:

If the Minimum Hours in Work Day field is updated, the system must recalculate all the days in the MDAY calendar. This process takes place when you save changes to the Planning Parameters.

The system also converts Fixed, Paper Work, and Dock-to-Stock lead times from days to calendar hours by multiplying them by the Minimum Hours in Work Day value.
