Let's go back to the exercise we previously developed in this manual. Let's now in the same example introduce a set up of 120' on the constraint resource D (was 0'). Table 8.5.1. shows what orders will be too late and how many hours too late.


;
Order Qty Due Hour Start time Run time Finish time Late in hours Too late
1 75 24 2 15 17 (7)
6 50 24 19 10 29 5 Y
4 40 32 31 8 39 7 Y
5 80 40 41 16 57 17 Y
3 30 48 59 6 65 17 Y
2 60 48 67 12 79 31 Y
Table 8.5.1 Combining Set Ups

Let's suppose now order 2 to be delivered at hour 48 is exactly the same product as order 1 and the foreman decides to save a set up. Table 8.4 shows the effects of this decision.

Order Qty Due Hour Start time Run time Finish time Late in hours Too late
1 75 24 2 15 17 (7)
2 60 48 17 12 29 (17)
6 50 24 31 10 41 17 Y
4 40 32 43 8 51 19 Y
5 80 40 53 16 69 29 Y
3 30 48 71 6 77 29 Y
Table 8.5.2 Combining Set Ups

This example shows very clearly in what an uncontrollable situation regarding lead time we will arrive, when saving set ups are allowed.
