## Configure Changovers

### Create a Property

Your Property name must match a [Materials](/tillit/knowledge-base/scheduler/setting-up-the-scheduler/configuration/materials.md)Property or Order Property Name

{% hint style="info" %}
When evaluating the material properties, Scheduler will also consider the property of any raw material inside that Operation/Route/Segment.

Hence if the reason you are doing a changeover is a function of the raw material, you can use a property maintained in the raw material to drive the changeover duration.
{% endhint %}

Enter a property name and click Add.

Double click on the Property then assign a Value and Colour.

The colour will be used when scheduling to display different material and optimisation property attributes. See example below.

### Create a Changeover Set

A Changeover Set is used to define the From and To relationships for the changeover set based on the material attribute.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note, you can set a default Changeover Time that will be utilised if there is no defined property to property changeover time configured
{% endhint %}

Below is a wine example where the matrix are a range of Changeovers between Wine Colour (e.g Red to White wine), Glass Bottle Size (750ml to 187ml) etc.

There will end up being a list of possible changeovers forming a matrix. The Optimiser will use this differential matrix to look for efficiency opportunities when optimising Orders.

### Assign the Changeover Set on an Equipment

The last step is to assign a Changeover Set to an Equipment. You can apply different changeover sets to different equipment depending on the requirements for each situation.

In the example above, the Changeover Set for Glass is assigned to both Wine Bottle Packaging Lines as they use the same changeover times for both lines.
