Alternative processing of functions

You can allow functions to be processed alternatively by multiple resources. While one human resource is occupied with carrying out a function, this resource cannot process any other functions.

Procedure

  1. Use the carries out connection to link the human resource (for example, Organizational unit or Group) to the corresponding function.

  2. Select the Alternative option for the Resource allocation attribute of the functions (Simulation attribute type group).

  3. Assign an organizational chart to the human resource.

  4. Model the organizational elements of the human resource, for example, the employees that belong to a group, in the organizational chart.

A subset of the allocated human resources is used to process a function. In other words, just one employee carries out the function, for example.
