Define Formula Parameters

In this menu option, you define the formula parameters by specifying standard values for maintenance.

You can assign any function to these standard values. The most common standard values are setup time or machine time per unit. Under certain circumstances you need to specify further standard values, such as labor time or cleaning time, for planning purposes.

Complex production processes may also require further planning options, such as the calculation of energy requirements or spatial requirements.

You also need formula parameters for formula definitions.

Note

Please note that the meaning of the fields for work center usage and task list usage is determined by the key words.

Recommendation

You should select easily identifiable ID codes if you want to enter the formula parameters into the formula definition at a later point in time.

Actions

1. Set up the formula parameters.
2. Check the summary of the formula parameters for the standard value keys.
3. Check the usage of the formula parameters in the formula definitions.
