Usage

Use this tab to associate part characteristics with the work center. Characteristics can be used to plan and schedule operations sharing similar characteristic values together to minimize setup times. Use the lower section of the window to define the setup matrix for a characteristic used by IFS/Constraint Based Scheduling (CBS).

Note that the configuration characteristics with the Enable for Planning and Scheduling check box selected will be automatically replicated as part characteristics.
