This field displays an operation-based value if a user formula can be used to calculate process time. Typically, the field contains the number of capacity units of the resource that will be used for the production of a component of the finished item. The following is an example of how process time is calculated based on resource capacity. A machine with 1,000 rotations per hour is used to perform an operation where two pieces of the finished item are finished per rotation. The production of finished items per hour will then be 2,000 pieces. You specify 1,000 for the resource's capacity per hour, and set the formula factor for the operation in the route to 0.5 (P). The calculation is made as follows: Process quantity per hour = 1,000 (K) / 0.5 (P) = 2,000 pieces.
