Wanted to share this with the community!  I think the visual helps a person understand Queue, Finish, and Move Times more quickly.

These times are used in scheduling but they are not used for costing an operation.

We/Acumatica generally say that the Use Case for finish time is for drying or curing - when a production item needs to occupy the WC - consuming capacity - even though the work done in that WC is complete. 

And another Use Case for move time is when the production item needs to physically move from one building to another before the next step in the operation can be started.  The move time does not consume capacity.

it would be nice if we could use different time fences in the queue or move time. For example, it might take 3 minutes to paint, but needs to cure for 48 hours.
