Define capacity for part-time operators

You set operator capacity to help analyze your plan, and determine how many operators the plan is using.

Note

Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO counts each part-time operator as a single person.

Perform the following steps to define capacity for part-time operators.

  1. In the plant BOP, navigate to a process line or process area and click the Balancing tab.

  2. Select a process station.

  3. Select an operator (PR) in the station.

  4. Click the More icon.

  5. Select Edit Process Resource Capacity .

  6. Click Capacity, select the operator's availability as a percentage, and click Done.

Note Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO uses a percentage of the available time to calculate operator capacity, then lists capacity for part-time operators next to those resources in the station tile. Process resource capacity is set with a predefined list. Your Teamcenter administrator may create custom values that are not listed in this example by adding values to the site specific preference EP_ProcessResourceCapacityValues.

  1. View, analyze, and adjust the line to ensure that takt time is not exceeded.
