Misc Costing 0

The production time is based on:

The number of pieces of the job order

Design characteristics: stitch count, color count, trim count, length of stitches, etc.

Machine features: heads, needles per head, speed chart, color change time, thread trim time, etc.

Operator time: hooping time, bobbin change time, etc.

The more accurate you can specify these parameters, the more accurate the estimation is. You can use any of the pre-defined machines or you can create your own machine and set the machine parameters. Default values on the pre-defined machines are statistical values.

 

To get a quick initial time estimation:

Type the number of pieces to produce

Select a machine from the list.

The estimate is computed almost instantly.

 

You will get a time usage graph with dividers for the main events and a job summary, with run count, average speed, etc.
