Ok,

but maybe I was not very clear with this.
You can actually create calendars of capacity per day
(Manufacturing->Calendars), the capacity is expressed in milliseconds:
you can define standards weeks, days and also exceptions days amd weeks
(such as an holiday).
You can set the desired calendar for each fixed asset (aka workcenter or
machine) in Accounting->Fixed Assets.
The fixed asset (used by a task) is set in the Manufacturing->Tasks screens.
The capacity in the calendars is considered when the production runs are
created; if I have a 10 hours task using a fixed asset associated to an
8-hours-per-day calendar then it will start today and the estimated
completion date will be tomorrow (8 hours today and 2 tomorrow).
You can even see the production runs running in a facility by selectimg
a facility in the WorkEffort->calendar screens; if you select a fixed
asset you'll see the routing tasks running in that fixed asset.
This could help, together with some nice reports (not currently
available) and maybe some external tools to do more advanced capacity
scheduling.
However, if you run another identical production run in the same day, it
will not see the existing production and will be scheduled in the same
time frame.
