In reality you often face the "problem", that resources do not work 24 hours a day, especially humans are prone to this fact. Therefore you need a feature that allows you to model a resources working time. We offer you a shift editor, in which you can set every resource's labor time for each day of the week.
Approach
- Open an Organization Diagram (e. g. the one from Model 13)
- Click on any resource
- Make sure you have selected Simulation from IYOPRO's property set
- Now select the Simulation tab from IYOPRO's top menu bar
- You should see the Shift-button as depicted in figure 1
- Click on it

- The Shift Editor appears
- Here you can set the labor time of each resource, that is contained in the organization diagram
- You can the start and end time of the resources working time for each day of the week
- In the drop-down-box below the string "Shifts for Dave" we offer you some preset shifts like
- Full week: The resource works 24 h each day of the week (see figure 2)
- 30 hours week with a lunch break: The resource works 30 hours a week and also has a lunch break of 1 hours included
- You can interrupt a day's working time for a break like depicted in figure 3.
- Or you can model night shifts, which start at 10 PM and stop at 6 AM next day.
- Use the Plus (+) and Minus (-) buttons to achieve this
