Specifies the appropriate items of a product family.
In the Quantity field in the Family window, you enter the quantity that will be produced when the whole family has been manufactured once.
For more information, see Family.
Example
In punching processes, four pieces of the same item can be produced from one sheet and 10 pieces of another, different, item at the same time. The punching machine will punch all 14 pieces in one step.
Forming production families reduces the scrap quantity because what would normally be leftover scrap, when producing big pieces, will be used instead to produce small items.
