Machine Load Summary

[About Manufacturing Visualizer] [About Visualization for Machine Availability]

Usage

This multilevel pie chart can be used to get a quick overview of the machine load situation on a high level. Depending on the configuration, the chart will show different levels of information, but in general it will display information about the load situation for the resources that are included in the selection. This chart groups the machines according to their structures. Up to three layers can be displayed at a time. The identity of the machine and the percentage utilized are displayed on the segment.

When a segment is selected, the load is displayed as a percentage value, number of hours as a fraction and past due hours.

The percentage shows the total load divided by the total capacity. If the search result only contains load information, the capacity will be fetched only for the days with load.
For the number of hours, the numerator shows the load hours within the date period and the denominator shows work center capacity within the date period. If the search result only contains load information the capacity will be fetched only for the days with load.
For the number of days, the numerator shows the number of days with load and the denominator shows all the days within the time period defined on the tool tip.

To see what days you have load for, you can use this chart as a publisher and then see the load in another chart, for example, the Machine Load chart.

Configuration:

The Work Center and Resource layers are displayed by default but clicking on a title of a layer on the legend will show/hide the layers as required.
Right-click and click Include Past Due Load to include the load that was due in the past that has not been completed as of yet.
Right-click on a segment and click Expand to display a layer that was collapsed.
Right-click on a segment and click Collapse to remove a layer from view.

Actions:

Select a segment to view information as a percentage and fractions related to the number of hours, days, and past load in hours.
