Defining Resource Tolerance

Trigger:

Concept
Using the Tolerance Fences page, you can define the acceptable excess load (tolerance
percentage) for each resource, based on the number of days in advance of the need. Situations
arise when an excess load has to be placed on a resource.

Tolerance percentage is the acceptable excess load for the resource, given the number of days in
advance of the manufacturing capacity need. If the tolerance percentage changes as the number of
days in advance changes, then you can enter as many combinations of days in advance and
tolerance percentage as needed.

In this topic, you will define resource tolerance.
