Efficiency in capacity resources.

Mauddib

When setting up Machine or Works centres there is an option to set the Efficiency of the centre. This works on the planning tools.

However if the efficiency goes down, the time to make the item goes up. Hence the Standard Cost of the item is affected. However this does not happen in Navision.

Is there a toggle somewhere to make this field affect the standard cost? Or is there another way to acheive something similar?

Capacity and Efficiency have no impact on the cost. They are only "calendar related" fields : they are only used to define that, for example, during one real hour (on calendar), this Machine can make "1/2 hour" of planned job (from the routing), with efficiency = 50% .


Sorry for my poor english. You can find a complete description of the field in the Online Help or in the Manufacturing Manual.
