Scheduler/Run Rule

This field applies to the Scheduler only.

On the Current Operations form, this field is labeled Scheduler Run. On the What If Operations form, this field is labeled Run Rule.

Use this field to specify the run time of this operation.

  • Per-Piece (default): Calculates the run time as the quantity multiplied by the value in Labor Hours per Piece or Machine Hours per Piece.
  • Fixed: The time value entered in Fixed Schedule Hours is used as the run time.
  • Per Fixture: The per fixture time and factor are used to determine the run time. For example, if the job has 200 pieces, the operation time is one hour, there are two molds per fixture, and four pieces per mold, the operation time per piece would be 1/2/4, or 1/8 hours per fixture. 200 * 1/8 = 25 hours of run time for the job on this operation.
Note: This field is set automatically when you change the Use Fixed Sched Hours field. If Use Fixed Sched Hours is selected, this field must be set to Fixed. If Use Fixed Sched Hours is cleared, this field must be set to Per Piece. See About Operation Run Time for more information.
