Strategic Planner Plan: Monthly scenario

For Strategic Planner Plans exported from a Monthly Scenario, the monthly values are used for the overlapping weeks in the time bank Feature in WFM that allows employees to work longer hours during busy times and fewer hours during slower times. Employees bank hours when they work more than usual, and subtract hours when they work less than usual..

Example: Export Strategic Planner Plan from a Monthly Scenario

Select Use Strategic Planner Plan for Update Time Bank Hours. The Strategic Planner plans are exported from a Monthly Scenario.

If the time bank has 12 months, it has 12 values.

For example, you have three years of data for 2008–2010. You are loading data for 2009. The second year data (values 13–24) is used. The start day for the organization is Monday. The plan value 42 is used for January and plan value 35 for February. The following week values are stored for the first few weeks:

1/1-1/4 (partial week) - 42/7 days X 3 days = 18 hours
1/4-1/11 - 42 hours
1/12-1/18 - 42 hours
1/19-1/25 - 42 hours
1/26 or 2/1 (week divided between months) - 42/7 X 6 days + 35/7 X 1 day = 41 hours
