Tool Clean Process

Labor Time =

(Labor Dependent Process Time * Labor Time Standard) +

Part Handling Labor Time

Labor time depends on the following:

• Labor-dependent process time: this is the Tool Cleaning Time from the child operation. See Manual Tool Cleaning Operation, Cryogenic Tool Cleaning Operation, and Laser Tool Cleaning Operation.

• Labor time standard: specified as the machine property Labor Time Standard. This multiplier is used to account for otherwise unaccounted for factors that affect labor time, such as operator fatigue or time spent by the operator for cleaning or maintenance.

• Part handling labor time: see formula

Cycle Time =

(Labor Independent Process Time +

(Labor Dependent Process Time / Number of Operators)) *

Cycle Time Adjustment Factor

Cycle time depends on the following:

• Labor-independent process time: this is elapsed handling time, looked up by tool length and tool width (see Tool Length, Width, and Area) in the Tool Handling Time column of the lookup table tblHandlingTimes.

• Labor-dependent process time: this is the Tool Cleaning Time from the child operation. See Manual Tool Cleaning Operation, Cryogenic Tool Cleaning Operation, and Laser Tool Cleaning Operation.

• Number of operators: specified by the machine property Number of Operators.

• Cycle time adjustment factor: specified by the cost model variable cycleTimeAdjustmentFactor (1 in starting point VPEs). VPE administrators can change the cost model variable to globally adjust cycle times for Composites.

Part Handling Labor Time = Part Handling Elapsed Time * Number of Operators

Part handling labor time is the product of the following:

• Part handling elapsed time: looked up by tool length and tool width (see Tool Length, Width, and Area) in the Tool Handling Time column of the lookup table tblHandlingTimes.

• Number of operators: specified by the machine property Number of Operators.
