Process indicators are additional evaluation criteria in element structures. Categories can be assigned to each of them, and criteria can be assigned to each category.
By default, there are three process indicators, each of which can be assigned any number of categories and criteria.
The Value-Added Process Indicator (VAAD) is divided into three categories:
▪NONE (not assigned)
▪VA (value adding)
▪NV (non value adding)
Each of these categories may, in turn, contain a quantity of criteria.
For example, the VA (value-added) category contains the VA (value-added) criterion, to which a color and a time for the allowance calculation are assigned.

▪In order to be able to evaluate set-up times of elements with process indicators, the Evaluate set-up time option must be activated in the corresponding column. If the option is deactivated, the process indicator chart for set-up times remains empty despite the assignment. ▪In the "Time for allowance calculation" column, a corresponding code (va01–va40) is automatically assigned for each criterion when saving. This code can be used for further calculation in the allowance classes. |
