Calculate Actual Location Group Time Share

Explanation

This activity is used to calculate actual location group time share. The actual location group time share shows how a specific worker divides his time among different location groups. This value is useful when planning the resource situation. It is the effective time share that is used in the system for planning reasons, rather than the actual time share. However, it is possible to update the effective time share with the actual time share at all times.

The location group time share calculation is based on the warehouse tasks that have been performed during a specified period. The calculation is grouped by site, warehouse worker, and warehouse task type.

The result of the calculation is the actual time share in percent that the worker spends on different location groups. This value is displayed in the column Actual Time Share in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker/Location Group tab.

Prerequisites

In order for the calculation to give any result, at least one warehouse task on this location group must have been performed on this site by the specific warehouse worker during the selected period.

System Effects

The actual location group time share will be calculated either for one or for all warehouse workers on a specific site, based on the warehouse tasks executed during the selected period. The actual time share is updated in Warehouse Task Basic Data/Warehouse Worker/Location Group tab.
