Setup Options for Bench Operation
Bench Operation provides the following option:
Final Inspection Time
By default in starting point VPEs, the final inspection time is specified by the cost model variable defaultFinalInspectionTime (5 minutes in starting point VPEs). See Formulas for the Bench Operation ProcessFormulas for the Cold Storage Process. You can override the default with this setup option.
Tooling Cost
By default, the tool cost for the Manual Forming operation of the Bench Operation process is a fraction of the Stretch Form tooling cost, where the fraction is specified by the cost model variable defaultManualFormingToolingMultiplier (0.2 in starting point VPEs). See Stretch Forming Tooling. You can override the default with this setup option.
Number of Tools Required
By default in starting point VPEs, tooling cost calculations assume that a single tool lasts long enough to produce the production volume specified in any scenario. VPE administrators can customize the default number of tools assumed for the current production scenario (with the cost model variable manualFormingBlockNumberOfPartsLife). Users can override the default on a per-part basis and specify the number of tools with this setup option. The cost model accounts for the specified number of tools in total hard tooling cost.
