Shop Load Profile Graph |
|
The Shop Load Profile Graph gives you a quick snapshot of what is happening on the shop floor. It is executed from the Manufacturing Orders Job Grid, Graphs | Load Profile.
The Shop Load Profile Graph consists of four pie charts and two bar capacity bar charts. The pie charts display:
1.Number of jobs late versus jobs on time.
2.A break down of the late jobs into categories of days late. The days late categories can be set by each user.
3.A breakdown of jobs by job state. The job states to be displayed can be selected by the user.
4.Capacity profile of all resources. Click on a pie slice of the profile pie to see a larger detailed version of the profile pie.
The bar charts display:
1.The resource capacity for the resource selected in the tree on the Resource Capacity Graph.
2.All resources (or a sub set of resources if selected) for the given time period on the Capacities Profile Graph.
