Work adjustment overview

Use Work Adjustment to adjust the shift distribution of work. Use the adjustment factor to account for work that was added between the current time and the time the work is performed.

To create a work adjustment:

  1. From the Labor menu, select Planning > Work Adjustment.
  2. Specify this information:
    Plan Date
    The date for the displayed labor plan. The available date range is a facility setting.
    Version
    The version of the labor plan for given date.

    After you select the plan date and version, the system displays the plan information sorted by Task and Zone.

    Shift
    The time periods during which users are working.
    Duration
    The length of time this activity takes to complete.
    Planned Work
    The planned, or anticipated, daily work volume for the given activity and shift. Planned work is measured in number of units.
    Planned Units
    These are the units in which the work is measured. This is taken from the activity configuration. The types of units include:
    • Cases
    • Tasks
    • Pallets
    • Users (for scheduled activity types)
    Shift Distribution
    The percentage of planned work a specific shift is expected to perform of a given activity. You can edit this field to adjust the shift distribution percent.
    Adjustment
    The number of units (+/-) to adjust the estimated work by adding or subtracting to or from the estimated work. You can edit this field to adjust the number of units.

    The system saves changes you make to the Shift Distribution or Adjustment values for a specific zone, activity, or shift.
