Defining Capacity

Can you define the capacity for a resource?

A Production_Resource<LinkId=974> can be a person, a piece of equipment or a workspace. Work Processes are allocated to a
resource which ensures that processes are not scheduled at a time when there are insufficient resources to complete
them.

How to Define Capacity

Select the Manufacturing tab
Select the Resource List to view/edit an existing resource
Enter under Capacity the total number of hours the resource is available per day. eg. If the resource is "Welding
Bays" and there are four employees working in the welding bays for eight hours per day, the capacity is 4x8=32
If there are daily setup times or breakdown times for the resource (not each job) subtract these from the figure
above.
