Defining Routings
Routings define the steps that a product passes through during the manufacturing process. A routing consists of one or more operations—steps needed to manufacture an item. For more information on routings, see
QAD Manufacturing User Guide.
For costing purposes, routings provide the following information:
• Manufacturing setup and run times per operation
• Machines per operation
• Operation yield percent or yield at each operation
• Subcontract cost, if any, per unit
Each routing operation is associated with a particular work center, so it is not necessary to enter labor or burden rates for each operation.
