It is also possible to do work center planning (also referred as rough cut scheduling) in MRS. This function is available since MRS 610 SP03 release.

The important functions of MRS rough cut scheduling are:

• Visualize the capacity (utilization) at the work center level
• Drag and drop operations to schedule them
• Undo-Redo function available - Simulate your results and finally save them
• Drag and Drop dispatching at resource level (create assignments)

The current version of MRS - MRS 610 is equipped with lot of new features. You can now visualize the travel time for your technicians if they are traveling to a customer location to complete the work.

MRS can also calculate travel times automatically.

This video tutorial shows how the travel times are visualized and calculated automatically in MRS.

This video tutorial shows you how to customize different layouts in MRS Planning board.

For e.g. you can customize a layout to show only the resource gantt and the item work list, OR you could customize a layout to show only the DPD (Demand planning and dispatching) Gantt.

You can switch between different layouts easily and you can also default a layout in your user settings.
