Probably two ways you could approach that, one, have all your setup
personnel in one resource group and tie in your setup detail in your
operation to that group. The other would be to have your operators and
setup folks in one group, and use capability to define the needed
resource for the setup portion of your operation. In your
operator/setup people you could define which had setup capability. In
operation maintenance you would have one capability (setup) and two
resource groups (primary - your machine, secondary your labor pool).
The scheduling system would take care of the rest for you. I am
assuming you weren't talking about having the scheduler call out 'named'
individuals on a rotating shift. I can theorize how you might set up
calendars to follow that but it would be ugly. Best leave that portion
to be simply managed by your shop floor supervisors. You just need to
know when and how many setup people and operators you need.

Subject: [Vantage] APS Setup Advice
I have the following scheduling scenario I wish to run on Vantage APS
and wish to know if anyone has a similar setup that is working:
I have a machine resource group which has a 16 hour day production
calendar.
When scheduling an operation, I wish to schedule specific people as
operators and setters with the above mentioned machine resource group
for an operation. These people work on 8 hour early or late shifts and
these shifts rotate every week so that the early shift on week 1 work
becomes the late shift on week 2 etc. Each shift has setters and
operators.
What I am aiming for is for the scheduling to allocate a machine for the
duration of the operation from the machine resource group, allocate a
setter at the start of the operation and then allocate an operator from
each shift for the duration of the operation (which is days or weeks
depending on the production run).
I wish to know what configuration of resource / resource group /
capability / production calendar would deliver the desired results.
Thanks in advance for your help on this one.
