setup time
Pre-operation preparation duration
Setup time is the period required to prepare equipment, machinery, or a process before actual work begins.
In manufacturing, it's the interval between completing one production run and starting the next—changing tools, adjusting settings, loading materials: We reduced setup time from two hours to twenty minutes.
The term extends to any preparatory phase: The setup time for the experiment took longer than the experiment itself.
