Which conflicts does Gantway detect?

Gantway continuously checks the plan against reality — capacities, attendance, stock — and flags where they do not fit together. The Conflicts page in the sidebar collects the flags, by default open to admins, planners, team leads and purchasing/warehouse. Employees only see conflicts concerning themselves and their own items, as a "Conflict: …" label under My Work. There are seven conflict types:

The seven types

• Workstation overbooking: on a given day, a workstation has more orders assigned than its capacity allows.
• Station overbooking: at a station, work steps run at the same time, checked to the minute. One after another on the same day is not a conflict.
• Employee double booking: a person has overlapping work steps on the same working day.
• Employee absent: a work step falls into a recorded absence of the assigned person — vacation, illness, special or unpaid leave, or vocational school. Approved vacation still counts while its cancellation has been requested but not yet confirmed.
• Dependency violated: a successor starts before its predecessor ends.
• Material shortage: the demand of all orders together exceeds the stock of an item. The conflict can therefore arise through an entirely different order.
• Qualification missing: the assigned person does not have the qualification required by the work step.

How urgent a conflict is, its severity tells you; the reason in the individual case is shown by the diagnosis. And how many conflicts can be avoided from the outset is covered under Avoiding conflicts.
