Capacity percentage

You can use the capacity percentage to vary the available capacity of work centers by day or by shift. For example, if the night shift works with less people than the day shift in a work center, you can reduce the capacity percentage for the night shift. The default capacity percentage is 100 %. LN applies the capacity percentage in the calculation of work center utilization views and reports.

Note

The value of the capacity percentage does not affect lead-time calculations.

Calculations

In the Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000) session, the Capacity Details tab contains the following fields:

  • Hours
  • Capacity Percentage
  • Capacity [Hrs]

The Hours field is based on the Start Time and End Time fields. The Capacity [Hrs] is based on the Hours field and the capacity percentage. The Capacity [Hrs] field is input for the available hours in the work center utilization views and reports.

To define the capacity percentage

In the Working Hours Types (tcccp0103m000) session, you define a working hours type's capacity percentage.

The working hours type's capacity percentage serves as default in the Standard Calendar (tcccp0140m000) session and the Calendar Recurrences (tcccp0144m000) session.

The Calendar Working Hours (tcccp0120m000) session displays the effective capacity percentage that LN uses to calculate capacity utilizations. You can manually change the capacity percentage.
