If you examine this formula, several concepts be<strong>com</strong>e apparent.<br />

• Queue, setup, and move times are <strong>com</strong>pletely independent of the<br />

order quantity or lot size.<br />

• Queue, setup, and move times are also independent of machines per<br />

operation, since these do not require that a machine be available.<br />

• Queue, setup, and move times are a function of available work center<br />

or shop calendar hours since the operation can only be performed<br />

during working hours. If queue, setup, and move times add up to<br />

16 hours and there are 8 working hours in a day, 2 manufacturing<br />

days are needed.<br />

• The total run time for an operation is a function of order quantity. If<br />

the unit run time is 1 hour and the item order quantity is 48, a total of<br />

48 hours of run time is needed.<br />

• The run time for an operation is a function of total run time, work<br />

center or shop calendar hours, and the machines per operation. If a<br />

work center is open for 8 hours per day and there is one machine per<br />

operation, run time is 6 manufacturing days (48 hours over 6 days<br />

with 8 machine hours per day). However, if there are 3 machines per<br />

operation, run time will take only 2 days (48 hours over 2 days with<br />

24 machine hours per day).<br />

• Wait time is the amount of time a lot must remain at a work center<br />

after an operation is <strong>com</strong>pleted before it can be moved to the next<br />

operation. It is calculated from a straight 24-hour clock, since no<br />

machines or people are required.<br />

• Subcontract lead time is stated in days. It is added directly to the other<br />

lead time <strong>com</strong>ponents.<br />

<strong>MFG</strong>/<strong>PRO</strong> schedules work order and repetitive operations sequentially,<br />

assigning start and due dates for each operation. The duration of a specific<br />

operation—the time between its start date and due date—is determined by<br />

the setup, run, and subcontract times for the operation. The interoperation<br />

lead time—the time between the due date of one operation and the start<br />

date of the next operation—is calculated using the first operation’s wait<br />

and move times and the following operation’s queue time.<br />
