Speed Table
In the Speed Table record, the user can set the speed according to the number of machine cycles. The speed table must be linked to the Production Group, through the Speed tab in the Production Group record. For more information, refer to "Production Group Speed.”
Based on the table linked to the Production Group, the Engineering calculate how many hours the machine needs to produce a certain job. The total time information is also used to determine the machine’s cost for a particular job.
Information on the Speed Table Record Window
Go to Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Speed Table
Tip: For more information on the buttons in this toolbar refer to “Standard toolbar” in Basic Navigation.

Add Speed Table
The user is required to have enabled the following access options, for adding speed tables:
EPS > SALES > RECORDS > IQUOTE > ENGINEERING > SPEED TABLE > ADD SPEED TABLE
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Speed Table or enter "Speed table" in the Quick Search field
Click Add. The following screen will open:
Complete the fields as described below:

Description |
Name of the speed table linked to the Production Group. The user can link more than one table to the same Production Group. |
||||||||||||

Active |
Speed table situation that indicates if it can be linked to the Production Group. |

Interpolate speeds |
Allows the user to determine if the speed table should interpolate its speeds, that is, if a speed corresponding to intermediate values in the scale of production should or not be calculated as follows:
Where x is the speed to be applied. Taking in consideration the following table...
...if the value calculated by the Engineering is 500 machine cycles, the calculation will be:
where x = 7500 If this option is not enabled the table will not interpolate the speeds. Considering the same speed table above, if the quantity calculated in the machine cycle is 500, the speed will be 8000. If the quantity calculated in the cycle is 10, the speed will also be 8000. This way all quantities calculated in the machine cycle in the same range in the scale of production have the same speed. |

Use average speed when versioning |
Allows you to define if the system should use the average speed or not. If the component that you are estimating has versions and you select this check box, the system will divide the product’s quantity by the quantity of runs that the engineering calculates. For example, imagine that you have an Estimate for which the Engineering calculated two runs in the Press activity and the Goods Qty. is 700. In this case, the system would divide 700 by 2 and use the speed of 9,100.00 (according to the image below).

Starting at |
List of ranges for quantities produced in the machine that indicate the speed to be used. Enter the values considering the criteria “Starting at”, that is, using the following table as an example, starting at 1 (quantity) the speed applied will be 8000. Starting at 1000 the speed applied will be 7000 and so on. This value can vary if the option Interpolate Speeds is enabled.

Speed |
Speed value applied to the Engineering, according to the scale of production. If the option Interpolate Wastes is enabled this speed can vary according to the scale of production. |
||||||||||||
|
Minimum Time |
Minimum time in minutes applied ti the speed linked to the Production Group. If the time calculated according to the table for the machine cycles is shorter than the minimum time, the minimum time is considered for calculating the cost/ hour. |
||||||||||||
|
Additional Time |
Allows adding extra time to the time calculated with the speed value. Considering the machine need to print 1000 products and it has a 1000 cycles/ hour speed it will be necessary 1 hour top print all products. If this field is filled with 10 minutes you will have total 10h10 to print 1000 cycles, therefore the machine will have less cycles in 1 hour. |
