Include Hierarchy On Simulation checkbox, via Interactive Planner Simulation

In the following example, the user will run the simulation without the Include Hierarchy On Simulation checkbox selected. Note that the particular task requires the Skill of a TECHNICIAN which is unavailable at the this point.

Select the Run Simulation button:

PLAN_include_hierarchy1

The following errors appear in the Labor Simulation window letting the planner know that there are no available Man Hours for the Skill TECHNICIAN, which is expected.

PLAN_include_hierarchy2

Go to Settings/Update/Skill Master.

Add a hierarchy to the Skill TECHNICIAN.

For additional information regarding the Skill Hierarchy, refer to the Hierarchy Button via Skill Master which can be found in the Settings Training manual.

Now that a Skill hierarchy has been created for the Skill TECHNICIAN with Skill 'A' set as a priority 1, run the simulation again, only this time be sure the Include Hierarchy On Simulation checkbox is selected.

PLAN_include_hierarchy3

Now that the Include Hierarchy On Simulation checkbox is selected, the Labor Simulation window appears with no error messages. Even though the Skill TECHNICIAN is not available, the system did a search for the next available Skill set up in the Skill Master as a hierarchy to Skill TECHNICIAN which was Skill 'A.'

Select the Save but_save_small button.

PLAN_include_hierarchy4

Go to Planning/Query/Man Hour Schedule Planner.

The employee reservation is also reflected in the Man Hours Planner:

Note: The below examples (Man Hours Planner and Employee Schedule Self Management) do not reflect the same Work Order that was used in the above example.

PLAN_include_hierarchy5

Go to Planning/Update/Employee Schedule Self-Management.

The employee reservation is also reflected in the Employee Schedule Self Management window:
