			<Paragraph>The production rate is the number of <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#000066" role="glossary">norm units</Link> per minute or per hour that a task can be performed for a combination of an X-axis value and a Y-axis value from the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/glossary/glossary#NormTable.ti" role="glossary">norm table</Link>, multiplied by a <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#ConverFactor.td" role="glossary">conversion factor</Link>. This conversion factor is defined for the norm table in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0130m000" role="session">Norm Tables (tirou0130m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
		</GeneralSection>
		<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
			<Paragraph>If you have selected a value that does not appear on the X-axis or the Y-axis, the production rate will be calculated by linear interpolation. For more information, see <Link href="/baanerp/ti/onlinemanual/000164" role="manual">Calculating based on norm tables</Link>.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>If a board has a width of 60.00 mm and a thickness of 4 mm, seven boards can be sawn per minute if the conversion factor is 1.0000.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>If you change the conversion factor to 10.0000, 60 boards can be sawn per minute. The values in the table remain unchanged, whatever the value of the conversion factor. The result of a change is not visible until the computation of the norm time and the production rate (norm units) on the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0230m000#norm.time" role="formfield">Calculated Norm Time</GUIRef> field and the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0230m000#rate" role="formfield">Calculated Production Rate</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0230m000" role="session">Calculate Norm Time (tirou0230m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>The cycle time is the required norm time in MINUTES to perform an operation on one piece of an item for a combination of the norm table's X-axis value and a Y-axix value multiplied by two conversion factors. These factors are defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0130m000#tirou030.conf" role="formfield">Conversion Factor</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0130m000" role="session">Norm Tables (tirou0130m000)</GUIRef> session and <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0230m000#norm.time.fact" role="formfield">Factor for Norm Time</GUIRef> field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0230m000" role="session">Calculate Norm Time (tirou0230m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

			<Paragraph>If the conversion factor is 1.0000, it takes a half a minute to drill a hole with a diameter of 5 mm in a board with a thickness of 40 mm. If you change the conversion factor to 10.000, it will take 5 minutes to drill the hole.</Paragraph>

The result of a change is not visible until the computation and the production rate (norm units) is done on the calculated norm time fields and calculated production rate fields in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/ti/rou/tirou0230m000" role="session">Calculate Norm Time (tirou0230m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
