- Issue Indicators:
- Quality—The scheduling manager has scheduled too few hours, where the variance between the scheduled hours and the projected hours is outside of a configured threshold for under-scheduling. This is typically configured as 3% to 5% in most installations. So if the manager had scheduled too few hours or more than 5% below the projected hours, then the Quality indicator is colored purple and displays the number of related issues.
Cost—The scheduling manager has scheduled too many hours above the projected hours outside of a configured threshold for over-scheduling. This is typically configured as 3% to 5% in most installations. So if the manager had scheduled more than 5% over the projected hours, then the Cost indicator is colored red and displays the number of related issues.
OT—This is a percentage of scheduled hours that are overtime (OT) hours. This threshold is configured based on the company's policy for acceptable scheduling of OT. For example, if the threshold is set to 3% and there are more than 3% scheduled hours are OT hours, then the OT indicator is colored blue and display the number of related issues.
Info icon false Note: UniFocus software already had the ability to configure Quality and Cost thresholds, which were used in a variety of components of the WPS the
application (like the Scheduling screen). OT is a new threshold in the software and a new configuration point in Labor Structure, where you specify what percentage of OT you want to trigger an alert.Include Page RMS-ProductName RMS-ProductName
