How to Setup Work Center with 3 shift

BHT

Hi guys,
I'm trying to setup a work center to met the following scenario:
I have 3 people with work time:
People A from 7:00 to 15:00 (shift 1)
People B from 15:00 to 23:00 (shift 2)
People C from 23:00 to 7:00 (shift 3).
All of the three people have to operate an extruder Machine which is operable for 24 hours.
How can I set up these people and machine into a work center so I can have a work center with capacity 24 hour?
I already set up a workcenter calendar to have 3 shift with each shift time as I describe above but how can I setup the machine center?
'cause that there is no shift code link to machine center?
Anyone can help me?

I've tried to have a work center containing a machine with 3 operator working on it. But after the calendar completely calculate, each operator having 24 hour capacity.
How come the calendar act like this? I just need to have 3 operator with 8 hour capacity for each and a machine which have 24 hour capacity.
Anyone please help me....?

Make a shop calendar code like this one :

Monday 0:00:00 7:00:00 3 Monday 7:00:00 15:00:00 1 Monday 15:00:00 23:00:00 2 Monday 23:00:00 23:59:59 3 Tuesday 0:00:00 7:00:00 3 Tuesday 7:00:00 15:00:00 1 Tuesday 15:00:00 23:00:00 2 Tuesday 23:00:00 23:59:59 3 Wednesday 0:00:00 7:00:00 3 Wednesday 7:00:00 15:00:00 1 Wednesday 15:00:00 23:00:00 2 Wednesday 23:00:00 23:59:59 3 Thursday 0:00:00 7:00:00 3 Thursday 7:00:00 15:00:00 1 Thursday 15:00:00 23:00:00 2 Thursday 23:00:00 23:59:59 3 Friday 0:00:00 7:00:00 3 Friday 7:00:00 15:00:00 1 Friday 15:00:00 23:00:00 2 Friday 23:00:00 23:59:59 3 Saturday 0:00:00 7:00:00 3 Saturday 7:00:00 15:00:00 1 Saturday 15:00:00 23:00:00 2 Saturday 23:00:00 23:59:59 3 Sunday 0:00:00 7:00:00 3 Sunday 7:00:00 15:00:00 1 Sunday 15:00:00 23:00:00 2 Sunday 23:00:00 23:59:59 3

Assign it to the WorkCenter. Calculate the calendar. Assign that Workcenter to the MachineCenter (the calendar is inherited). Calculate the Calendar for the MC.


Now I have a 24 hour capacity : 3*8hrs

I think the key here is that the MC inherites the calendar from the WC when you run the calculate calendar batch job. Once calculated you are free to change the calendar from the WC, without impacting the MC.
