Changeovers
Changeover is the time required to change the line setup (or for some other reason that it is not possible to start production immediately) to produce a different material. This data is used for more accurate estimates of production queue time calculations.
Changeover durations between 2 materials are set here. In the table below, select the previous material in production, the production line to which this rule is applied and the duration of the changeover.
In this tab we need to press the button 
to display the screen with parameters for setting the changeovers of the material. To delete the row of changeovers we need to use button :minus_delete: .
In the below table there are all parameters of the Material, tab Changeovers with its description.
Parameter name | Limitations | Possible values | Description | DB field |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Material | defined values | The list of all material available for selection | Defines previous material in production. | [PRODUCTION_LINE].[MATERIAL_CONSUMPTION_TYPE] |
Production line | defined values | The list of all production lines available for selection | Defines the production line on which this changeover is applied. | [PRODUCTION_LINE].[ITEMSINPRODUCTION] |
Changeover time | HH:MM:SS | Hour:Minute:Seconds | This parameter define the duration of how long it will take to start production after the previous selected material. | [PRODUCTION_LINE_SETTING].[TIME_CHANGEOVER] |
If no changeovers are defined between specific materials, changeovers between Material Groups are automatically applied. If material group changeovers are not applied, the default changeover of the Production line is used.
