In IFS Cloud 26R1, a prospect has raised a question regarding Resource Allocation on Work Tasks.
The proposed process is as follows:
- Work Tasks are generated from a Preventive Maintenance (PM) Action (potentially hundreds of Work Tasks).
- Resource Requirements are defined in the PM Action Template by Trade (e.g. Electrician, Mechanical Fitter, Instrument Technician).
- Named Resources for the Trade then need to be allocated to the generated Work Tasks based on the required Trade and available capacity.
Assuming that PSO (Planning and Scheduling Optimization) is not included in the solution
Which screen / function in IFS can be used to ensure that named Resources can be easily allocated to work tasks and also not be over utilised ? (without having to drill into each Work Task.)
(example : Work Tasks require an Electrician for 60 hours in this week - how can this be allocated to Mr.X who only works for 40 hours in the week - the maximum capacity of 40 hours should be visible when allocating work)
