The default, “Run & Setup Time” will calculate the resources and costs associated with those entered in the work center setups and activities for the product. The costs will be based on the work center rates, and the capacity on the product routing information.

The Activities Drivers option may be used in conjunction with the Job Planning module, and will calculate the costs and durations based on parameters entered by the users in the planning module.Normally, the Run & Setup time option is used.However, once the system has an active capacity planning module in place, the user may use Activities Drivers to schedule priorities in the Dynamic Scheduling Module.

No change is required in this setup unless the user is going to make extensive use of the job planning module.

Note:  In order to add Times in Routing, the Run and Setup Time MUST be selected in this module.
