Re: lwk month

Yes this file is for the capacity and yes it is calculated as such
depending upon how you have these items set up (i.e. routings, work
centers, departments). So you are on the right track, and yes it does in
fact affect everything that is done pretty much, so if things are not
set up correctly it will give you some pretty far fetched figures in the
reports.

subject: [BPCS-L] LWK "month" hours

   We're 405 CD.

   A monthly report created years ago by some forgotten employee
includes by
   factory dept work center the fields
   * LWK.WMHRS = MTD Hours
   * LWK.WMIHR = MTD Hours In

   I have been asked to research what these fields represent, and where
the
   data comes from that populates them.
   Hundreds of programs mess with this file .. So far, I dug into a tiny
   fraction of them.

   Looks to me like this is a Capacity Planning concept

   The hours are computed from standard routing time to do the quantity
of
   the parts involved.

   "month" is not fiscal month but rolling 4 consecutive shop calendar
weeks.

   LWK.WMIHR = MTD Hours In
   means work load to be done or planned, consisting of this week, next
week,
   for 4 weeks worth

   LWK.WMHRS = MTD Hours
   means  work that labor reporting says we completed, consisting of
this
   week, last week, for 4 weeks worth

   Am I on the right track, correctly figuring this out?
