For those that celebrate it I Hope everyone had a great Christmas
I have an issue regarding planning and scheduling
Scenario:
I have a route operation which for simplicity has a process time of 1 hour to make 1 part
i have a sales order line and marked production order for a quantity of 64. My resource is set to 100 % efficiency and my lead time for the operation is therefore 64 hours.
On my calendar I use a working time template which operates at 600% to reflect six men in the same resource. this increases the daily capacity to 46 hours
i job schedule my production order and view the capacity graph. My graph shows 46 hours per day available capacity (increased in accordance with the 600%) and the 64 hours load against that capacity. This is exactly what I would expect to see.
I then run the Gantt chart. My operation time has been divided by Six - it shows a total of 10, 6667 hours. Why is this when my resource is operating at 100% - I thought the efficiency percentage on the working time template was to increase capacity? It seems that this field is both increasing capacity on any day but also assuming that my resource can produce 6 times faster too!
Also from a planning perspective what is the point of seeing 64 hours on the capacity graph when my work is scheduled for 10 hours? Shouldn’t the capacity graph reflect the reduced scheduled times rather than original times?
Tell me I’m doing something wrong as this makes no sense. Having the ability to increase capacity is great but it’s completely negated if scheduling times are reduced
