Consider Resource Calendars for Production Changeovers

You can now decide if resource downtimes should be considered while undertaking production changeovers, such as setups and cleanups. Considering resource downtimes can result in a better representation of capacity usage in the schedule.

You determine whether downtimes are considered via a new advanced schedule option and  that applies to all constrained resources in the schedule.
