📕🎥 Setup - Machine Groups

Machine groups allow Dispatch to group machines together on a production line to calculate OA. For example, if there are four machines that perform the same function on the line and one of those machines breaks down, then efficiency would be cut by 25%. Note: Creating a Dispatch on a Machine within a Machine Group will split the downtime displayed on the Operator Portal for a pitch by the number of machines within that Machine Group.
