Has anyone got any tips or advice on how to capacity plan against production lines (a team of people)
Customer I'm working with creates hours capacity against a line in production. So one line for cutting (made up of 6 people) one line for sewing (made up of 6 people) etc. In D365FO using resource groups and job scheduling means one resource is allocated to a job (which doesn't work) so the only solution I can envisage is to have a resource representing a line. I read on a blog that the scheduling efficiency percentage could be set to 600% so that the capacity would be representative of 6 people.
The problem is the customer wants capacity to be dynamic - if one line is overloaded people can be moved from one line to another thus increasing capacity. Capacity therefore changes week by week on each line.
Is this beyond the planning/scheduling capabilities of D365FO and should they be looking for a third party scheduling tool?
