Resource groups
After you create capabilities and resources, the next step in the process is to create the resource groups.
The way in which you set up resource groups depends on the complexity of the manufacturing process. If you must meet several demands, and if multiple classifications exist, based on the capacity or the capability of individual resources, you need to ensure that these factors are reflected in the resource group setup.
For example, you can post information on resources to the ledger by using the resource group instead of posting financial data for each resource individually. As another example, you can consider a resource group as representing a physical area where resources are located on the production floor, often delineated by a yellow line on the floor.
Companies can determine the operations scheduling percentage and the efficiency percentage for their resources and resource groups. These percentages specify the extent to which capacity is available in the resource or resource group that's associated with operation scheduling.
