# Activity Rate Parameters

Activity rate parameters are production parameters that control the behaviour of a resource at a location for an activity. There are three activity rate parameters available:

- MAX_RATE
- CAPFACT
- NOMAVAIL

## MAX_RATE

You use the MAX_RATE parameter to set the maximum daily rate of a resource for the specified activity in each of the specified locations.

The units for the MAX_RATE are the units that are set up for the activity in the Locations tab. The MAX_RATE is never exceeded during scheduling calculations. The MAX_RATE is not always achieved during scheduling. Whether the MAX_RATE is achieved depends on factors such as the resource capacity, location priorities, resource allocation rules, and the availability of other locations where the resource is able to work.

The default value for MAX_RATE is 0, meaning that the resource is not assigned. Assigning a positive MAX_RATE value to a resource for an activity in a location assigns the resource to the mining location for the specified activity.

## CAPFACT

You use the CAPFACT parameter to define the capacity factor of a resource for the specified activity in the specified locations.

This parameter acts as a multiplier on the MAX_RATE parameter value. It is entered as a percentage. The default value of CAPFACT is 100, which has no effect on the MAX_RATE.

Note: Defining a value for CAPFACT does not affect the resource capacity.

## NOMAVAIL

You use the NOMAVAIL parameter to define the nominal availability of a resource for the specified activity in the specified locations.

Like CAPFACT, this parameter acts as a multiplier on the MAX_RATE parameter value. NOMAVAIL is entered as a percentage. The default value for NOMAVAIL is 100, which has no effect on the MAX_RATE.

Note: Defining a value for NOMAVAIL does not affect the resource capacity.
