A type of item characteristic that indicates how a machine must
be set up to produce the item. The setup class determines the changeover time
for a machine or a tool between two operations. A setup class consists of a
series of setup states. In a matrix of setup states the specific changeover
times can be defined.
Example
Examples of setup classes are color and thickness. If your setup class is color, the setup states can be red, green, white, black, and so on.
