You use this program to view a Gantt Chart of the operations assigned to a non-stocked item. The graph indicates the elements making up the manufacturing lead time.
The graph is scaled horizontally according to the total number of days required to complete all operations (i.e. queue time, elapsed time, and move time) and vertically according to the operations performed in the different work centers.

Elapsed time | The elapsed time for a subcontract operation is calculated as the sum of the offsite time and the dock to stock days. The lead time of the subcontract operation is ignored. The elapsed time for a subcontract operation is the time from the moment you ship materials to the subcontract provider until it is back on the floor to enable you to continue working on it. |
