AVAILABLE CAPACITY

Available Capacity 

The capacity hours available at this work center on this day. Available 
Capacity of a work center is calculated as follows:

Available Capacity = Daily Capacity  x  Work center Average Efficiency  x 
DLP
Daily Capacity =Machine Speed factor  x  Hrs./Day

Machine Speed factor = (Machine #1 Speed÷W/C Std Speed) + (Machine #2 
Speed ÷ W/C Std Speed) + (Machine #n Speed ÷ W/C Std Speed)

Hrs. per Day =# Shifts  x  Hrs. per Shift


Input is how many hours (load) you schedule a workcenter for on a daily 
basis. (this value is determined by Routing)

Output is how many hrs worked.

Labor variance is determined by hrs worked vs standard
