4. Review the load and capacity information.

   • Remaining Capacity: The system displays the remaining capacity for each day in a color-coded bar on the work center load review calendar: a red bar indicates an over-capacity condition (when the aggregated load is greater than the net capacity), and a green bar indicates that capacity is available. The system displays the work order operations scheduled for each day in a blue bar.

     Note: The system does not display an operation if the remaining quantity = 0.

   • Capacity Summary: The system displays the summary of the work center capacity for the selected day on the top-left corner in the Work Center Load Review Calendar program. Alternatively, you can view the capacity summary by clicking the capacity bar on the calendar. Review the following fields:

     Gross Capacity

     Displays the gross capacity at the work center.

     Rated Capacity

     Displays the rated capacity at the work center. The system calculates the rated capacity after factoring in efficiency and utilization.

     Scheduled Load

     Displays the scheduled load at the work center.

     Remaining Capacity

     Displays the remaining capacity at the work center. The system calculates the remaining capacity by subtracting the aggregated load from the rated capacity (remaining capacity = rated capacity - aggregated load).

   • Operation Details: The system displays the details of the operation scheduled for the selected day in a panel on the left of the work center load review calendar. Alternatively, you can view the operation details by clicking an operation on the calendar. Review the following fields:

     Note: If the Quantity Calculation processing option is set to include scrapped or canceled quantity, the remaining quantity is the accumulation of the quantity at operation from the Work Order Routing table (F3112) for a work order and for all operation sequence numbers less than or equal to the selected record.
