Revising Resource Units Manually
Access the Work Center Resource Unit Revision form.
- Work Center
Enter a number that identifies the work center.
- Month
Enter a number that corresponds to the month in a calendar year.
- Year
Enter the calendar year for this calendar.
- Unit of Measure
Displays the default value that comes from the component and production units of measure from the Item Master table.
- Work Center Efficiency
Enter a user-defined value that indicates how efficiently a work center operates.
This value usually refers to staff efficiency. When you enter a value in this field and the Modify Cost by Work Center Efficiency field in the F3009 table is set to Y, the system creates a new cost component (B4) from the cost calculated from the direct labor cost (B1).
For example, if the constant is set to Y, the value of this field is 80 percent, and the direct labor cost is 10, then the system creates a B4 cost component for two in the F30026 table.
The Refresh Resource Units program also uses this value as a default when calculating rated capacity.
Enter percents as whole numbers. For example, enter 80 percent as 80.00.
Note: The system expects that the routing times for each operator are the actual times it takes to complete an operation. Efficiency does not affect total cost. Efficiency does reassign some of the costs into different cost components. Efficiency does not change the duration or backscheduling of a work order.- Work Center Utilization
Enter a percentage that indicates how intensively a work center is being used. This value usually refers to machine use. It is the ratio of the direct time charged for production activities to the planned hours.
The Refresh Resource Units program also uses this value as a default when calculating rated capacity.
Enter percents as whole numbers. For example, enter 80 percent as 80.00.
- Total Resource Units
Identifies the monthly total resource units for the work center.
