Load view
The Load view compares the work planned for each work center against the time it has available. Use it to catch bottlenecks before they reach the floor.
Reading the load
- Each work center shows planned work against its available capacity for each period.
- Capacity comes from the work center's working calendar, so shifts and days off are already counted.
- A work center planned beyond its capacity is flagged as overloaded.
What to do about an overload
- Open Schedule and find the busy work center and period.
- Move work that has not started to a quieter day, or to another line in the same work center.
- If the order can wait, keep it Firm Planned rather than Released.
- Return to Load to confirm the overload has cleared.
