Defining the amount of setup time

Specify a fixed setup time or use a calculated value. You can select the Setup Time Rule on the operation record (JS19VR.STIMEXPRL) to represent either situation. Two example values are shown below; see the APS Database Reference for a complete list.

• Fixed: apply the value from the Setup Hrs field on the operation.
• Setup Lookup Table: look up a value from a table that defines setup time based on changing the resource’s setup from working on one type of item to working on another. See “Creating a Setup Lookup Table for more information.
