Use Process Shift Maintenance (17.22.13) to define the normal hours for each shift associated with a kanban process. You can also define any exceptions to that normal work pattern.

System calculations use process shift records to determine the amount of time available. For example, when you update process data using Basic Process Calculations (17.22.11), the system examines shift records during the specified period to calculate the available time for each work day.

Set up shifts for a site or for a process at a site. You can define up to four shifts for each day of the week. A working day should have at least one shift with some number of hours greater than zero.

The hours worked by a particular shift can change because of holidays, planned shutdowns, or periods with planned overtime. Manage exceptions by specifying adjustment hours to shifts by effective date. Note that when you run Preliminary Level Schedule Report (17.22.14 or 17.14.26 for the enhanced .NET UI version in Enterprise Edition) or Level Mix Workbench (17.22.23.3) for a process, you can specify the reference codes associated with these exceptions. The system adjusts available production time as appropriate and displays each code and the associated number of hours in an individual column.
