Work- and Machine center load
In this article
The available capacity of a work- or machine center is defined by its calendar. Against this calendar, task are planned. The load expresses the difference between planning and calendar.
When planning a machine 6 hours against 8 hours on calendar, the load is 75%. Standard NAV shows this load in a separate form, by time period (day, week, month, quarter or year).
This Manufacturing Accelerator functionality provides a view in a matrix form, the y-axis being the work- or machine center, the x-axis the time period. The cells show the load percentage in a notification color:
| Load < 80% | Blue |
| Load between 80% and 120% | Green |
| Load >120% | Red |
