The following example illustrates how the Scheduler applies setup time for three different operations producing three different items. Assume these conditions:
| From | To Adults | To Kids |
|---|---|---|
| <DEFAULT> | 5.0 | 6.0 |
| Adults | 0.2 | 1.0 |
| Kids | 2.0 | 0.3 |
NOTE: The "<DEFAULT>" row accounts for the situation where there is no operation scheduled prior to the current one.
The table below shows the Setup Rule and Setup Time rule for each operation and how the setup time is applied based on these rules. Items are listed in the sequence in which they arrive at the resource.
| Setup Rule: | Always | Basis | Basis | Always | Basis | Basis |
| Setup Basis: | Item | Item | Group | Group | Item | Group |
| Setup Time Rule: | Fixed | Fixed | Fixed | Matrix | Matrix | Matrix |
| Setup Matrix: | N/A | N/A | N/A | Adults-to-Kids | Adults-to-Kids | Adults-to-Kids |
| ¯ | ¯ | ¯ | ¯ | ¯ | ¯ | |
| Kids Bike, Red | 1.5 | 1.5 | 1.5 | 6.0 | 6.0 | 6.0 |
| Kids Bike, Blue | 0.5 | 0.5 | 0 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0 |
| Kids Bike, Blue | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 |
| Adult Bike | 2.5 | 2.5 | 2.5 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 |
