Defining Departments and Resources
A department represents a crew within your organization. A crew can include people, machines, or suppliers. Departments are also used to collect costs, apply overhead, and compare load to capacity. You assign a department to each operation of a routing and assign resources that are available for that department. The department assigned to each operation of a routing also becomes the assigned department of the corresponding operation within the Work Order, assuming the Work Order is using the routing.
Resources are defined before departments. When you define a department, you specify available resources. A resource represents a craft. You can enter multiple resources for each department. For each resource, you can specify the shifts that the resource is available. For each resource shift, you can also specify capacity modifications that change the available hours per day, units per day, or workdays.
