Analyze Labor Load Chart
Explanation
This activity is used to analyze the labor load in relation to the capacity.
Load is represented with bars per day, or week and capacity with a line.
To populate the chart, click the magnifying glass and search either for relevant
shop orders, or labor classes/time period depending on the page used. When searching
for shop orders, chart will show all load for the relevant labor classes and
dates.
The chart can be configured using below settings:
- Group By - Controls how the bar segments should be
divided.
- Color By - Controls the color of the bar segments.
Only available when group by has been set to Operation.
- Load Source - Controls what different types of load
that should be considered.
- Capacity Type - Controls whether the capacity line
should consider the person utilization or not.
- Load Dates - Controls whether load should be shown
only for the dates on which the searched data have load, or all dates within
the searched data interval. Note that when Search Result
is selected, load for a date will only be fetched from the labor classes
the searched orders loads that date. Search Interval
will fetch load from all labor classes in the search result for all
dates.
- Aggregate By - Controls whether the X-axis should show
load and capacity per day, or per week.
- Show Only Load Dates - Controls whether the X-axis
should show only dates with visible load, or include also dates without
visible load. Note that if Date Selection has been set
to Dates, load may exists on dates even if the load is
not visible in the chart as it appears on a date where the search result
have no load.
