manufacturing availabilty employee

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 85

Hi,

I can not find how to setup employee availability in manufacturing.

I have a machine and I want to attach 10 employees who are capable to run this machine.  In the planning I want to see which employee is available for this machine linked to the absence 

Anyone a suggestion?

Thank you

Kind regards,

Bert

    I would suggest reviewing this before progressing any further: docs.microsoft.com/.../production-how-to-set-up-work-and-machine-centers

    You need a different data relationship in my view. Work Centre is your machine. Machine Centres are your people. This works well as Machine Centres can drift between different Work Centres - like a skilled shopfloor worker does.

    Absence mgt. can then take place at machine centre level and capacity mgt. too.

    Hi Josh,

    Thanks for your answer.

    If my people are Machine Centres I only can assign them to 1 Work Centre (machine).  Let's say an employee can run several machines (=Work Centre) the I have a problem.

    Is there another way?

    Kind regards,

    Bert

    The configuration you need seems to be lacking as standard. I would look here to see if an off the shelf app caters for your needs: appsource.microsoft.com/.../apps
