Overview of order utilisation
A good overview of order utilisation makes it possible to make important strategic decisions. For this purpose, the planned working times from the order costing are integrated directly into capacity planning and automatically distributed to individual groups, employees or machines depending on the desired level of detail. Working time data, documents and their target times or delivery dates are taken into account.
Use task management and time recording for your team in addition to the planning board via resource planning.
