Question

APB and Labor class

Hi,

 

We would like to start using our employees/labor classes as a Finite resource. Now, only the work centers are finite.

  • Is it correct, like with the work centers, we just need to put the labor class on finite capacity and connect the calanders/ calculate capacity?
  • How does APB behave if you don’t have anough capacity on your labor class? Let say you need 2 employees, but you only have one. Can you than say ‘it will take double as long’ or does he just say ‘not possible’?

Thanks!

Hi,

  1. Yes , 
  2. No you cant. In that case your operation would get unscheduled as it require 2 people.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

 

Thanks!

 

If we have an employee who is 50% in 2 labor classes, and the capacity of the labor class is calculated based on the employees in it.

If we plan that person for 100% in a one labor class, will it be reflected in the available capacity of the other labor class in that same period?
