Did you know? We have a Business Logic Rule to manage the effective operation duration to be taken into account in the virtual build-up and balancing.

To illustrate the concept I have attached a video and a script example.

The logic of the script example attached is:

- If an operation has a Time Analysis (TA) , take the time of the analysis (if its greater than 0.0s).

- If it has no TA, look at the value of "Measured Time" and take it if its greater than 0.0 s

- If the operation has neither a TA nor a "Measured Time" > 0.0s, take the estimated time value

- Whatever the duration is to be taken, multiply it finally with a Ratio.

Please note:

This is an example only. In industrial cases, the supplements(allowances)/ratios could be read from a table e.g. managed in Data Setup and be applied on top of the operation duration or even directly on the takt time/cycle time itself depending on the parent system.

Supplements/allowances are typically related to workers (e.g. human rest time / availability) and machines (OEE).
