How to calculate available capacity

You can distinguish between a work center's available capacity in man hours or in machine hours. Based on the calendar values, LN calculates the available capacity in the Calendars and Periods module.

Available capacity in man hours

• Number of operators The operators that are linked to the work center. The calculation of the number of operators is described in the session Help of the Calculate Resources (tirou0201m000) session.

• Working time The working time as determined by the work center calendar. If no calendar is linked to the work center, another calendar can be used. For more information, see Calendars in Manufacturing.

• Capacity percentage The capacity percentage as determined by the work center calendar. The value is entered in the Capacity Percentage field in the Working Hours Types (tcccp0103m000) session for a specific calendar.

Available capacity in machine hours

• Number of machines The machines that are linked to the work center. The calculation of the number of machines is described in the session Help of the Calculate Resources (tirou0201m000) session.
