Print Relative Work Center Utilization (tisfc1404m000)

Use this session to print:

  • A work center's basic capacity
  • The percentages reflecting the available capacity, derived from the basic capacity
  • The actual capacity of man and machine on the work center

Example

In the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session the following data is defined:

  • Week Capacity [Hours]: 40 hours/week
  • Available Labor Resources: 3
  • Number of Machines: 0

Based on this data, a part of the report printed in the Print Relative Work Center Utilization (tisfc1404m000) session can look like this:

Work Ctr Description Man/Mchn Basic Cap. (h/wk) Actual/Avail. Week 35 (%)
W31203 Assembly Man 120 Actual Capacity 8
Available Capacity 75
Machine 0 Actual Capacity 0!
Available Capacity 0
  • The basic capacity displayed on the report with regard to man: 40 * 3 = 120 hours/week.
  • The basic capacity displayed on the report with regard to machines: 40 * 0 = 0 hours/week.
  • If you suppose that the number of man hours that can be spend on the work center according to the calendar is 90 hours/week, then the percentage that expresses the available man capacity is: Available Capacity / Basic Week Capacity = 90 / 120 = 75%.
  • If you suppose that the number of man hours spent on the work center on production orders is 10 hours/week, then the percentage that expresses the actual man capacity is: Total Hours / Basic Week Capacity = 10 / 120 = 8%.
  • The percentage of the available machine capacity is 0 because the basic capacity is 0.
  • The actual machine capacity is 0 because the basic capacity is 0. However, if machine capacity is defined on a routing operation instead of on the work center, capacity is in fact planned, although the value in the report is 0. This is indicated by the exclamation mark (0!).

Note: 
  • The data is reported for a ten-week period that you can define yourself.

  • If the number of operators and/or the number of machines is 0 in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session, the basic capacity is 0 in the report.

    Consequently, the actual capacity and the available capacity is 0 on the report. However, the number of operators and machines can also be defined on the routing operations in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session. If this is the case, capacity is in fact planned, although the value in the report is 0. This is indicated by a question mark in the report (0?).

  • When a main work center is selected, the sub work centers are as well. Their man and machine capacities are aggregated and expressed as the man and machine capacities of the main work center.
  • Subcontracting work centers are indicated as such on the report.
