Setup Operator

Description

A setup operator describes the entire physical or intellectual performance of a person required to set up a machine in the production process. During setup, the machines are not used productively, so no product is produced. In FACTON, these costs are reflected in the "Machine Cost Setup" and "Labor Cost Setup".

FACTON offers you an integrated labor cost rate calculation.
