Q.  How do I track SETUP and RUN Times for Capacity Planning, Job Costing or Product Data management in MANEX?

A.  There are TWO different ways to track SETUP and RUN times for Capacity Planning, Job Costing or Product Data Management in MANEX.

• By entering Run and Setup Times in the Work Order Traveler Setup  module
• By entering the Run and Setup Times in the  Production Work Centers & Activities  module

Using Run and Setup Times from the Work Order Traveler Setup module is preferred when there is great variability in the products produced and the setup and run rates in each Work Center.

Using the Run and Setup Times from the Production Work Centers & Activities module is preferred when the product flow is uniform, the machine rates are well established and the setup times are very uniform regardless of product.

Use of Run and Setup Times is optional unless either Job Costing or Capacity Planning Modules are in use.
