Lead Time Calculation
Explanation
Use this activity to calculate a part’s manufacturing lead time. The
manufacturing lead time is calculated from the default routing and lot size of
the part. It considers the setup, move, operation times, and the efficiency
factor entered for the operation. The total
lead time will be reduced to reflect the operation overlapping if the overlap value
is defined for the routing.
Prerequisites
This activity requires a part for which a routing is defined.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The system changes the manufacturing lead-time
values on this routing alternative.
- If the routing alternative is '*', the system also updates the lead
times found on the
Inventory Part/Manufacturing tab and on the
Inventory Part/Acquisition tab.
