Gang Factor

Updated October 6,, 2021

The purpose of these fields is to allow for a user to accurately factor the effect of a gang run into an estimate or order.

 

The Gang Factor % field will be displayed for prepress, press, postpress and bindery processes. This field will default to “0”. When a number greater than “0” and less than “100 %” is entered, that value will be used to reduce the calculation of Production Time, Material Quantity or Plates.

 

 

As an example, if a Gang Factor of 25% is entered for a press run that would normally take 60 minutes, the system would in this case calculate a time of 15 minutes.

 

Additional comments regarding Gang Factor for a press process:

When adding or editing a press run process, the user will observe the following data fields.

 

 

As applicable, enter the applicable Gang Run factors to be used in calculations for the current estimate or order. This cannot be defaulted in the press setup.
