Progress Monitoring 
This function compares the execution of the assignments with planning. This enables the resource planner to react to any deviations early.
The resource planner uses the time recording data of the employees displayed in the planning board, the status of the assignments, and the demand display with a planning overview to monitor progress.
Prerequisites
The resource planner has assignments for personnel and tool resources for order operations in his or her worklist.
A time recording system is connected and the time recording data is transferred.
Features
Once the resource planner has planned resources for his or her worklist, he or she monitors how the plan is implemented. The resource planning process must be extremely flexible. Some events require the resource planner to replan or move assignments (for example, if an employee is sick, a machine breaks down, or other problems that occur during execution).
Assignments have statuses that are set by the resource planner or responsible personnel resource. If an assignment deviates from the required status on a specific date, the resource planner must determine the cause and correct resource planning where necessary.
A special interface enables time recording data to be transferred from a different system and made available in the planning board. This data is displayed in the resource planning board and can be used as the basis for checks and, therefore, to generate alerts.
The resource planner can switch to a demand-based view in the planning board. To do so, he or she chooses
Planning Board 
Display of Demand 
.The demand display does not show the resources of the planning board; instead, it shows the order operations on each row with their associated assignments. The following data is also displayed:
Hours used to execute the assignments to date
Percentage of task currently executed
The percentage value is calculated as a quotient of the duration already taken for execution and the total duration of the assignments.
Hours already planned to execute the assignments
Hours reserved in rough-cut planning of the order operation
