Human resources with a capacity of 1
The Person object type has a capacity of 1. This assumes an employee who can carry out exactly one function at a time.
Human resources with a capacity greater than/equal to 1
Multiple employees can be allocated to the Group, Position, Organizational unit and Role object types. The allocation takes place in the organizational chart. If, for example, in the organizational chart 3 persons are not explicitly allocated to a group having an employee number of 3, Simulation creates three virtual employees that are included in the simulation. When modeling, you can also allocate human resources with a capacity greater than/equal to 1 to each other. For example, an organizational unit with 20 employees may consist of 5 groups with 4 persons each.
Allocation of human resources to functions
Allocating human resources to functions takes place in the EPC or in function allocation diagrams. Use the carries out or contributes to connection to link the required human resources to the function. Simulation assumes that all human resources committed to the function via these connections are required for carrying out the function once. If you have allocated a human resource with a capacity greater than/equal to 1 to a function, you can specify the number of group members required to carry out the function once at the connection between the human resource and the function. If a human resource is needed to carry out multiple functions simultaneously during the simulation, the process with the higher priority is executed first. If all processes have the same priority, the human resource processes them consecutively.
