Use this session to define work periods for a specific calendar and availability type.
Field Information
- Scenario
- The code of the scenario.
- Calendar Code
- The code of the calendar for which the periods are defined.
- Availability Type
- The code of the availability type linked to the calendar.
- Date
- The date from which the work period starts.
- Sequence
- Start Time
- The period start time.
- End Time
- The period end time.
- Shift Name
- The name of the shift assigned to the period.
- Working Hours Type
- The type of working hours.
- Capacity Percentage
- The capacity of the resource, expressed as a percentage.
- Efficiency Factor
-
The efficiency factor of the resource. This value can be either zero or a positive integer. A value of zero indicates that the resource is not available in the specified period. A value between 0 and 1 indicates that the resource operates at a reduced productivity rate. A value higher than 1 indicates that the resource operates at an increased productivity rate.
Example: The standard production rate of a machine is 100 units per hour. If you define an efficiency of 0.8 for the month of July, the Scheduling Engine uses a production rate of 80 units per hour for the month of July.
If multiple resources from a qualified team have an efficiency specified for the same period of time, the lowest efficiency is considered. In case efficiency is not specified for a resource, a value of 1 is considered.
