You can calculate machine time, labor time, and elapsed time for your processes, line operations, and events defined in your flow routing. You can also enter your own machine times, labor times and elapsed times in the Flow Routing window.

Prerequisites

• You must first define any events, processes and line operations to be included in your flow routing.

   To calculate operation times:

1. Navigate to the Flow Routing window.

2. Place your cursor in the Total Cycle Time field in the header.

3. Select Calculate Operation times from the Tools menu. Choose to calculate either process times or operation times.

   Note: In the Flow Routing window the unit of measure for all times is hours.

   Note: You must re-perform the operation times and total product cycle time calculations any time you make a change to events, processes or operations.

   Note: You can also enter your own machine times, labor times, and elapsed times in the Flow Routing window. To do so, manually enter this information in the User Machine Time, User Labor Time, and User Elapsed Time fields. You determine when creating a mixed model map, whether the calculations are based on rolled-up or user entered times.
