Production Changeover

This table is used within the Simulation-based experiments only.

To produce more than one product type at a production line a changeover is required, during which the line is upgraded (re-setup) to match the production requirements of the new product type.
A production line can have several changeovers, allowing it to switch among the required product types production.

The changeovers defined in this table are applied only to the user-defined production line.

Column	Description
Name	Specify the name of the changeover. It must be a meaningful name since you will refer to it in other anyLogistix tables.
Current Product	Defines the product type that the production line is currently producing.
New Product	Defines the product type that the production line must start producing instead of the Current Product.
Time	Defines the amount of time it takes to change the production line setup from the Current Product to the New Product.
Time Unit	Specify the time unit, in which the Time is expressed. E.g. The specified time unit is Hour, the Time is set to 4. This means that it will take 4 hours to change the production line setup from one product to another. The list of available units comprises the units defined in the Manage units dialog.
Cost	Defines the cost of changing the production line setup from the Current Product to the Current Product.
Currency	The type of currency in which the costs are expressed.
Inclusion Type	Defines the status of the given changeover. Include — include this changeover into supply chain configuration. Exclude — exclude this changeover from the supply chain configuration. If selected, the table record will be grayed out to denote the current inclusion type. The table record stays editable.
