Overtime—Occurs the percentage of actual overtime (OT) hours exceeds the configured threshold for overtime. This threshold is configured based on the company's policy for acceptable use of OT. For example, if the threshold is set to 3% and more than 3% of worked hours are OT hours, then the OT indicator is blue and displays the number of related of jobs with this condition. Operational Issues—Occurs when the variance between worked and standard hours is within the configured threshold, but underlying issues exist that put a strain on operations or put quality at risk.
