Description:  With this app, you can visualize the capacities of work centers, and the load on work centers. The app allows you to detect overload situations along with the cumulative overload situation across the selected evaluation horizons based on bucket (or grouping) types, such as days or weeks. For a work center, you balance several factors to ensure that you are optimally utilizing its capacity such that there are no overloads across your evaluation horizon, as well as no backlog in terms of orders or operations. With the information provided in the app, you can make informed decisions to achieve this balance. 
With this app, you can visualize capacities and loads on work centers. It provides you with the ability to detect overload situations across select evaluation horizons based on bucket (or grouping) types, such as days or weeks.
Key features:    Evaluate critical and overload situations based on priority, using KPIs such as first critical load, first overload, and maximum load.   Personalize critical and normal load levels as per your requirement where anything above critical will be considered as overload.   View the backlog of overdue orders and operations for work centers.   View the capacity required to fulfill all the open orders such as planned, production, process and maintenance orders in a set evaluation horizon.   View the work center capacity utilization based on set bucket types, such as shifts, days, or weeks in the detailed page.   See the average load and overall percentage load across an evaluation horizon to understand load distribution.   View the available capacity or consolidated shift capacity (indicated as a vertical line) in the the graphical chart when displayed in hours.   View the capacity requirement and available capacity for work centers.   Reschedule the operation start and end date if required.   Check the cumulative capacity utilization rate across the set horizon.   See operations relevant to a work center, with operation-specific capacity information.   Edit the start and end time of a shift.   Copy shifts across multiple work centers within your area of responsibility.   Navigate to apps that let you manage orders and operations.   Navigate to the Variant Configuration screen (advanced variant configuration) to view the product configuration (if available) for the production orders.   Manage shifts for a work center to enable a better utilization spread across an evaluation horizon.   Download work center capacities and capacity utilization information in an Excel format.Note The downloaded file does not display the values in colors indicating criticality.    You can set the growing threshold in the object page by using the Number of Rows field to set the number of rows displayed on the object page upon loading. The number of rows that will be added to the page by clicking More will also be the same as the value set in the Number of Rows field. The number of rows displayed will also be the same as the set threshold upon next login.   Filter work centers based on your area of responsibility (plant and MRP controller or work center groups).   You can add the Sales Order and Sales Order Item columns in the Operations table by selecting the Settings icon. The data will be available in these columns only for make-to-order scenarios.   In addition, the app supports the following technical features and options:   SAP Jam Integration   Email Integration   Save as Tile
