Have you added the process step to a resource?

A Production Resource can be a person, a piece of equipment or a workspace. Processes are allocated to a Resource which ensures that Processes are not scheduled at a time when there are insufficient resources to complete them.

From the Main Menu select the Manufacturing Module and then either the Resource button to create a New Resource or Resource List  button to view/edit an Existing Resource

Breakdown Hours - the number of hours per day to break down or shut down the resource

Labour Rate Hourly

Hourly Overhead Rate

Resource Process Steps - add here all of the processes that can be allocated to the resource.


The Resource Unavailability button allows you to schedule downtime for resources such as for regular maintenance, leave time for key personnel etc. This ensures that you don't schedule a process that is unable to be performed Eg.
