Resource Unit Setup

Resource unit information indicates the capacity of a work center on a given day. The system uses this information to back-schedule work orders in JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Shop Floor Management and to calculate available hours for capacity planning.

You can manually change the values to account for scheduled or unscheduled downtime, additional shifts, or vacation time. However, each time that you run the Work Center Resource Units Generation program (R3007G), the system recalculates the form values based on information in the Work Center Revisions program (P3006), the Shop Floor Calendar program (P00071), and the Manufacturing Constants table (F3009), and then overwrites the changes that you entered manually, based on the effectivity dates that you specified in the processing options.

The Work Center Resource Units Generation program recalculates the work center hours and updates them on the Work Center Resource Units program (P3007). The system recalculates the resource units for a work center based on information in the Work Center Revisions program, the Shop Floor Calendar program, and Manufacturing Constants table. You can create versions to recalculate the labor, setup, or machine hours, and set the processing options to update different dates and branches.

The system multiplies the number of machines or employees by the work hours per day from the Work Center Revisions program. If the work hours per day are not available from the Work Center Revisions program, then the system uses the work hours per day from the Manufacturing Constants table that the system defines for each work day on the Shop Floor Calendar.

Resource unit calculations for machine- and labor-related hours are:

  • Machine-related hours (prime load code = C or M).

    Number of machines multiplied by work hours per day

  • Labor-related hours (prime load code = L or B).

    Number of employees multiplied by work hours per day
