Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and scope
Compare load and capacity using the same unit and time window. Specify whether setup, maintenance, breaks and staff availability are included. Nominal machine hours are not automatically usable processing hours. Show the assumptions behind the available capacity so planners can distinguish an actual bottleneck from an incomplete calendar.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: a line has an eight-hour shift with one hour reserved for maintenance and another for setup. Six hours remain for processing. Orders requiring seven hours create a one-hour overload. The chart identifies the affected order and lets a planner inspect a different date without silently changing the production schedule.
Acceptance check
Test partial shifts, jobs crossing midnight and genuinely parallel operations. Retain update times and duration sources. Accept the view when its totals can be reproduced manually and averages do not hide overload in an individual interval.
Key takeaways
- Accept the view when its totals can be reproduced manually and averages do not hide overload in an individual interval.
