Resource
Have you added the process step to a resource?
A Production Resource can be a person, a piece of equipment or a workspace. Work Processes are allocated to a resource which ensures that processes are not scheduled at a time when there are insufficient resources to complete them.
How to use Production Resource
Select the Manufacturing tab Select the Resource Tab (to create a new Resource) or Resource List to view/edit an existing resource Fields available are: Resource Name - the unique identifier for the resource Description Capacity Hours - the number of hours per day that the resource is available Setup Hours - the number of hours to set up the resource each day (not including process specific setup time) Breakdown Hours - the number of hours per day to break down or shut down the resource Hourly Labour Rate Hourly Overhead Rate Resource Process Steps - add here all of the processes that can be allocated to the resource.
Resource Unavailability allows you to schedule downtime for resources such as for regular maintenance, leave time for key
personnel etc. This ensures that you don't schedule a process that is unable to be performed. eg. Don't schedule welding on a
day when your only qualified welder is on leave.
How to use Resource Unavailability
