Processing

The Key Facility Load Report displays the load at each key facility for the next 65 periods.  Periods can be in weeks, months, days, or user-defined intervals (as defined in the Planning Period conversation).  The planner can choose to base this load on the simulated, tentative, or current master schedule.

For each key facility, planned routings are accessed and the total load in each period is accumulated.  The effective capacity, load percent, available hours, cumulative load, and cumulative available hours are also calculated.  The period load is compared with the period capacity, and periods in which load exceeds capacity are highlighted.
