Load Types
A load type describes the type of labor demand placed on a work center. The system calculates the five load types:
Rated Profile
The total resource units from the Work Center Revisions form.
Loaded Profile
The load that is forecast from the planned and released work orders.
Percent Resource Used
The Loaded Profile that is divided by the Rated Profile.
Resource Available
The Loaded Profile subtracted from the Rated Profile.
Cumulative Resource Available
A running total of the resources available. If a work center runs over capacity, this number could be negative. If the work center runs under-capacity, the cumulative resources could increase each period.
