How to model an oven with fixed capacity as a resource in AX?

Is it possible to model an oven in a dry operation as a resource with fixed capacity (10 cubic meters for example) where different products with different volumes could be allocated at the same time if there is capacity in the oven?

This is a very common case so I wander how can you model this in Ax 2012 or 2009.

Thanks

You set it up with a capacity unit per hour and when you bring it onto the routing this is then altered by use of the factor field to reflect the capacity by set item. Always works back to time but in essence you convert the volume restriction into a fixed unit capacity and plan on this on an item by item basis.

Thanks Adam, I will try that.
