View Production Rate
Explanation
Use this activity to view the production rate of a
production unit for the specified time period. The production rate chart can be
used to view a graphical illustration of the production unit's rate figures.
Production rate figures can be compared with maximum production rates as well as
goal production rates for the given period of time.
This graph can be used to identify when, during its operational life cycle, the
production unit was in operation or stopped.
When clicking on a
production rate event or stop event directly in the graph: a marker (an arrow
pointed downward) is displayed in the graph, and the corresponding event record
is selected automatically in the event list.
When clicking on an event
directly in
the list, a marker (an arrow pointed downward) is displayed
automatically in the graph. This marker is used to show when in time the
event occurred.
Average lines, trend lines and/or moving average lines
for an object (i.e., production rate event, stop event, maximum production rate
line or goal production line) can be displayed
in the graph by selecting the relevant right mouse button options.
