  1. In Me > Preferences > Manufacturing Planning > System Editor, specify Operations: Level from leaf system to 1 for the Display of Columns in Workload Balancing option.
  2. Open your session content that must comprise a system with operations whose child operations have configuration filters applied.


  3. Select the Sequence system.

    This system contains an operation Op10 that contains operations WI_1 and WI_2 whose child operations have configuration filters applied. In this example, the configuration filters are called "Opt A" and "Opt B":

    • Operations Act 2, P2, Act 4, Act 5, P4, and Tool 2 configured with Opt A.
    • Operations Act 3, P3, P5, Act 6, and Act 7 are configured with Opt B.
    • Operations Act 1, Tool 1, and P1 are not configured.

  4. From the Authoring section of the action bar, click Workload Balancing .
    The Workload Balancing panel appears.



    There are two dedicated configuration filter columns for the operation Op10.

    The total time for operations WI_1 and WI_2 is calculated for each configuration. The calculation takes into account the child operations whose effectivity matches the column configuration filter.

Note: Drag and drop of operations and the Multi-cycle contextual command is not available in workload balancing while configurations are applied.
