      In the Operation Quantity field, type the quantity of items you need to produce at this operation in order to make the standard process quantity.

      • If the Setup Hours box is available, type the number of hours it takes to set up the operation.

        Or click the Setup Hours icon to display the Calculator. Enter the values.

   6. In the Move Hrs field, type move hours.

      Or

      Click the icon next to Move Hrs to display the Calculator. Enter the values.

      The scheduling program uses move hours to determine when the next operation can start. This is the amount of time (positive or negative) that the next operation is delayed after completing the last part of the current operation. Material handling time or paint drying time are examples of how this can be used. If the move time is negative, it means the next operation can begin some (user-defined) time after the setup time for the current operation has started. This time is designated in hours or portions of hours. For example, a “-.5” means the next operation can start 1/2 hour after work is started for the current operation.

   7. Select the Schedule check box if you want to include the operation on the dispatch list and see the work center name when viewing the schedule in Project.

   8. Modify the number in the Simultaneous Operations box to increase or decrease the number of operations that can be in process simultaneously in this work center. The system uses this number when computing the job’s Calculated Release Date. If you are adding a new operation, the default value is from the Work Center. If you did an Add and Carry from an existing operation, the value defaults from the original operation. If you change this number, the job Resync on the Job Orders (JO) screen turns red, indicating that a job order resync is necessary.

      This number cannot be higher than the maximum allowable number of simultaneous operations set in the Work Centers (WORK) page for this work center.

8. Click Save on the Toolbar.

   Follow the steps above to add additional operations.
