In the section of the screen entitled Capacity data, you can also display rows showing the minimum and maximum number of employees required per period.

The system then displays the number of employees you assigned in the routing or in the master recipe.

This function is clarified in the following example:

A production line works two shifts per day – from 6.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. and from 2.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. Two employees work in each shift. Three orders with the following data are to be produced:

Operation 1:

Duration 12 hours, requirement in number of personnel = 1, requirement in personnel hours = 12

Operation 2:

Duration 4 hours, requirement in number of personnel = ½, requirement in personnel hours = 2

Operation 3:

Duration 4 hours, requirement in number of personnel = 1, requirement in personnel hours = 4

All displays refer to one period. The period may be month, day or shift. You may choose an alternative to the time unit "hours".

Display:

In this display, you can see that the total requirements in shift 1 can be covered, however, at certain times, there is not enough personnel available.
