Production Calendar

I need a some questions on the production calendar

  • Should we account for break times in the default working hours? Since there are 45 minutes each day when no work is performed, should we reduce the default working hours to 7?
  • Saturdays are only used as working days when needed to manage capacity, but not all resource groups operate on Saturdays.
  • Specifically, the Power and Assembly groups are affected: Powder works an 8-hour Saturday, while Assembly only works a 5-hour Saturday.
  • How should production adjust the calendars to reflect this?
  • Do these resource groups each need their own calendar?
  • How can we configure reduced hours for Saturdays only?

In answer to your questions:

  • Break times are entered against the Employee - Shift records, employees are then linked to the resource groups/resource records, so this is taken into account when scheduling jobs
  • Create a calendar for all variants of the working hours
  • Apply the appropriate calendar to the Resource Groups/Resources
