Repetitive Production and Setups
Product A. Work Centre 1 is an old machine which runs slowly, but is quick to set up, and Work Centre 2
is a new high speed machine, but the set ups take a long time. We would describe this in tables like this:
Units per hour
Set up
W/C hours Product W/C 1 W/C 2
1 1.25 Prod A 80 140
2 3.00 Prod B 55 105
Prod C 72 135
Prod D 65 110
The left hand side of the schedule would look like this

=VLOOKUP(A18,B$8:C$9,2) - look up the work centre, 2nd column
=VLOOKUP(C18,E$8:G$11,A18+1) - look up the product, 2nd column for W/C 1, and
3rd column for W/C 2
=D18/F18 - run hours is quantity divided by units per hour
=E18+G18 - total hour is set up plus run
