Creating a Setup Matrix
Use the Setup Matrix form to define the
required setup time for changing a resource's setup from working on one type of item to
another.
Just as you can define the Setup Basis on the operation for specifying when to apply setup time, you define the Setup Basis for the setup matrix to apply its setup time. A setup matrix can be based on the item, setup group, or resource group changing.
Note: You may
only specify setup matrices that match the Setup
Basis specification on the Job Operations
form. For example, if the current job operation record specifies Item
as the Setup Basis, then, in the Setup Matrix field, you may only choose a
matrix whose Setup Basis specification
is also Item.
