  The generated setup matrix is created by entering the characteristics of the production order, such as the product type, quantity, and resources required. The system then calculates the setup times for each combination of resources and creates a matrix that can be used to optimize production planning and scheduling. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a generated setup matrix, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is entered accurately. This will ensure that the matrix is as accurate as possible and will help to optimize production planning and scheduling.
