Function documentationDefinition of Capacity

 

You use this function to specify the capacity that is available at specific points in time for a resource.

Features

You can define the following capacity categories:

  • Standard available capacity

    You specify this capacity in the header data when creating a new resource. This capacity does not take a multiple-shift operation into account, in other words, this capacity is always the same.

    The standard available capacity is limited only by the resource availability (see Definition of Availability).

  • Time-continuous capacity

    The time-continuous capacity takes a multiple-shift operation into account. A capacity variant is used to define this capacity based on different shift programs. For more information, see Definition of Capacity Variants.

    You can define data for the time-continuous capacity for vehicle resources, drivers, and calendar resources. For handling resources, you define a capacity profile.

  • Capacity profile

    The capacity profile corresponds to the time-continuous capacity, but is only available for handling resources. For more information, see Definition of Capacity Profiles.

    Moreover, the capacity profile provides you with an overview of the available capacity based on the standard available capacity, and the capacity derived from capacity variants.

Note Note

In downtimes, only reduced capacity is available for handling resources, and no capacity is available for all other resources. For more information, see Definition of Downtimes.
