Use this form to set up templates to reflect normal working times in your company. This can be a 24 hour production sequence where the resources are machines, or a work week of 9 to 5 for the purchasing department, where the resources are individual employees. The templates will help you create and manage working time calendars for your work centers. Working time calendars use the work times you define in this template.

efficiency and properties
-
: You can specify an efficiency rate for each time period you set up. For example, if the evening shift operates at an efficiency level of 75 percent (versus the day shift, which operates at 90 percent), you can note this here. The effects of these rates are factored into the available capacity on the work centers, and throughout the system.
-
Properties: You can assign properties to your templates. Properties are used by work centers to help optimize production schedules and are set up in the Properties (form).
