Click Count to view the number of work orders to be selected without actually selecting them. |
Click to move the current work order ahead in time. Click to move the current work order back in time. In the lower section of the form, Datastream 7i displays colors to represent labor availability versus labor required for the work order:
Green—Available labor hours exceed required labor hours
Yellow—Required labor hours equal available labor hours
Red—Required labor hours exceed available labor hours
By adjusting work orders in the schedule, you can reschedule them at times when enough labor is available, and thus balance the workload.
