Introduction
- This guide describes how to use the Shift schedule. This site is used to plan, when a unit should be producing goods and its scheduled production time.
The Shift schedule site shows a calendar over a unit.
The shifts are represented by grey boxes.
A shift is represented by a period, where a unit is scheduled to be producing goods. This period also represents the period where the data is included in the OEE calculation. This can be found on other pages like OEE under Reports, and Production status under Views.
A period in the calendar for a unit that is not included in a shift (04:00-05:00 in the example).
Will be excluded in the OEE calculation (Used site Production status).
One can see the period that is excluded, as it is represented as a scheduled loss in the timeline graph.
This is because no production is scheduled for this period.
