Re: Capturing machine tear down time

Tom,



tear down time can get tricky. Do you want to have this participate in std costing, or just for scheduling ?



Do you always perform a teardown...or is it a partial sometimes...?



You could set up an artificial W/C 'tear down' with no set up rates.... and route the item

through this WC after the actual W/C where the run time is accumulated....



I would just keep in mind the costing vs. scheduling options... test some out in a

test env.....





Thanks,





Jeff

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Capturing machine tear down time

How are people capturing machine tear down time?

We were capturing it on setups after the run portion was being done. This doesn't allow us to complete the operation while doing the ON/OF Setup transaction.

If we need to, we can stay on run to do this, but I don't really want to reduce my run rate because of this time. Also, because the tear down time is independent of quantity I want to be able to plan for it as I can with the setup time.

Any hints or ideas will be very appreciated. Thanks.
