(7) Calendar Exception
Occasionally, exceptions such as overtime or machine downtime cause changes in productivity and capacity for various shifts. When you set up calendars in Calendar Maintenance, you specify a reference, such as downtime, and the number of hours per day affected. This information displays in the Calendar Exception Maintenance grid within MSW/PSW. Negative numbers can display for downtime or holidays. Holidays are days when no production is scheduled. Holidays differ from site to site.
Note: You can only create Calendar Exceptions for production lines within the workbench. For the March 2011 release, when you enter calendar exception records, the system multiplies by x number of resources; for example, when you enter -3 hours and have three production lines, the system calculates this as -9 hours.
