When to distinguish between required and available human resources

For resource types that represent several persons (Position, Organizational unit, Group), you can specify the number of employees required at the same time to carry out the function. The set of available employees for each resource type is specified via the Number of employees attribute (Simulation attribute type group). Alternatively, you can specify the number of employees in an organizational chart that is included in the simulation.

The required number is entered for the connection to the function (Simulation > Number of required employees attribute type group). If no value was entered, one employee is assumed to participate in the simulation. Regardless of the value entered, one employee is assumed to be available for each of the Person, Role and Position resource types. A function can only be carried out if all resources required are available, that is, if their number is less than or equal to the number of resources provided by the organizational object. Otherwise, the function is subject to dynamic wait time. If the resource provides a multiple of the number of employees required, the function can be carried out simultaneously a corresponding number of times.
