Joe;
Yes, but we seldom have that small of a run quantity with short run hours,
or a lengthy setup.
When I first came here about a year ago NTF was having this type of a
"problem" but we found that we had setup/operator employees. Some employees
were just too lazy to clock off setup and onto production (especially if it
was a short run time). New management has separated setup ( they consider
it like indirect) and where practical setup is done "offline".
We also initiated a "Gains Sharing Program", employees are more interested
in clocking properly now when they know it can affect their bonus check.

So if you have a small run (5 pcs) and end up doing them
all in the process of setting up...
you would start production anyway and record 5 pcs
with virtually no labor time which would result in
a huge efficiency?
