The Graphical Scheduling application in Maximo Manage v8.0 uses histograms to provide a visual representation of resource allocation. To generate these histograms for work orders, it relies on the following information:  

Craft Quantity: This refers to the number of personnel from a specific craft (e.g., electricians, mechanics) required to complete the work order.

Hours: This represents the total number of hours that the specified craft is needed for the work order.

By combining these two pieces of information, the histogram displays the overall workload demand for each craft across the scheduled work orders. This allows schedulers to:

Identify potential resource bottlenecks: See if there are periods where the demand for a particular craft exceeds its availability.  

Optimize resource allocation: Allocate crafts effectively to ensure that enough personnel are available to complete the work within the scheduled timeframe.

Balance workloads: Distribute work among crafts to avoid overloading specific teams. (Reference: IBM Maximo Manage v8.0 documentation - Graphical Scheduling application)

The Contract Administration application is used to set contract property defaults for specific contract types. For example, you can set whether early termination is allowed by the customer for a specific contract type.
