Shift calendars per station

Updated just now · 8 views ·

Shift calendars are how MapVS gets Available Time right per station - which is what everything downstream (takt time, OEE, DES throughput) depends on.

Create a calendar

  1. Open Shift Calendars from the sidebar.
  2. Add a calendar (name, timezone, effective from).
  3. Add shifts: name, weekdays, start / end time, planned breaks.
  4. Save.

Assign to stations

Open the stage data box. Under "Shift calendar" pick the calendar you created. MapVS uses it to compute Planned Available Time for that station, which feeds directly into OEE and takt calculations.

Available on

Pro plans and above.
