  Key Concepts: 
  Queue time is a term used in SAP Manufacturing Execution (MFG-ME) to refer to the amount of time it takes for a production order to be processed. It is calculated by subtracting the start time of the production order from the end time. This helps to measure the efficiency of the production process and identify any bottlenecks.
  
  How to use it: 
  Queue time can be used to measure the efficiency of a production process. To calculate queue time, subtract the start time of the production order from the end time. This will give you an indication of how long it took for the production order to be processed.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to monitor queue time regularly in order to identify any bottlenecks in the production process. If queue time is too long, it could indicate that there are issues with resources or processes that need to be addressed.
  
  Related Information:
