This activity is used to analyze the worst case machine availability on a high level for a work center resource, work center, department or production line using a pie chart.
To populate the chart, click the magnifying glass and search either for relevant shop orders, or work centers/time period depending on the page used. When searching for shop orders, chart will show the work centers connected to any of the operations on those shop orders.
A pie segment represents either a work center resource, work center, department or production line depending on the selected group by option and is assigned a load category based on below logic:
Load Category | Work Center Resource | Work Center | Department | Production Line |
Not Loaded | The resource has capacity, but no workload. | The work center has capacity, but no workload. | None of the work centers connected to the department have any workload. | None of the work centers connected to the production line have any workload. |
Partially Loaded | The resource has workload less than its capacity for all days/weeks. | The work center has workload less than its capacity for all days/weeks. | All of the work centers connected to the department have workload less than their capacity for all days/weeks. | All of the work centers connected to the production line have workload less than their capacity for all days/weeks. |
Fully Loaded | The resource has workload that equals its capacity on at least one day/week. | The work center has workload that equals its capacity on at least one day/week. | At least one of the work centers connected to the department has workload that equals its capacity on at least one day/week. | At least one of the work centers connected to the production line has workload that equals its capacity on at least one day/week. |
Unbalanced | N/A | One or more of the resources on the work center is overloaded on at least one day/week, but the workload does not exceed the capacity on a work center level. I.e. the workload can be balanced by splitting the work between the resources. | At least one of the work centers connected to the department has one or more resources that are overloaded on at least one day/week, but the workload does not exceed the capacity on a work center level. I.e. the workload can be balanced by splitting the work between the resources on the work center. | At least one of the work centers connected to the production line have one or more resources that are overloaded on at least one day/week, but the workload does not exceed the capacity on a work center level. I.e. the workload can be balanced by splitting the work between the resources on the work center. |
Overloaded | The resource workload exceeds its capacity on at least one day/week. | The work center workload exceeds its capacity on at least one day/week. | At least one of the work centers connected to the department has workload that exceeds its capacity on at least one day/week. | At least one of the work centers connected to the production line has workload that exceeds its capacity on at least one day/week. |
