Perform Load Calculation

Explanation

Use this activity to create a capacity plan for a simulation. This will calculate the load for all resources used in the simulation. The load is calculated by comparing the amount of work scheduled for, and actual work released to a resource, for a specific time period.

Prerequisites

Demand and supply forecasts and part routings must have been defined for the simulation.

System Effects

As a result of this activity a capacity plan will be generated for the simulation. This can be viewed in the Analyze Load window.
