00:03
After analyzing your Factory Design layout for transportation costs and machine utilizations,
00:09
you can generate reports of the analyses for reviews, presentations, or to record layout rationale.
00:16
Note that you must have Microsoft Excel installed to complete this tutorial.
00:21
To generate an analysis report of machine data, including utilization, in AutoCAD, on the Factory tab,
00:28
expand the Material Flow drop-down and select Generate Report.
00:33
In the Save Report As dialog, you can name the report file as needed, choose a location for the report, and click Save.
00:43
Once saved, the report opens in Microsoft Excel.
00:48
Take a few minutes to review the Analysis Results.
00:52
On the Optimization Results tab, a summary table lists important information,
00:57
including transportation time and cost, production cost, travel distance, and total energy consumption.
01:05
Two bar graphs—Number of Jobs and Machine Utilization—provide visual representations of data by station.
01:13
The Details tab includes a grid of detailed information by station,
01:18
including setup and processing cost rates, energy consumption, and several intensity values.
01:24
Generating before and after reports allows you to document the improvements in your Factory Design layout.
