Work Center List & Capacity CR05,CR07

Purpose
A work center is an organizational unit that defines where and when an operation should be
carried out within a plant. A work center is unique within a plant. Work centers can be machines,
people or production lines. Operations that need to be executed are defined on a task list and
executed at the corresponding user assigned work center. This transaction enables the user to
create basic data, set defaults, assignments, and define capacities and scheduling data pertinent
to a work center. Work centers contain default values that are copied or referenced in operations
at the time of task list creation. They also contain costing, scheduling and capacity data required
for leadtime scheduling and capacity planning.
Use this function if you wish to plan your bottleneck resources or to process one or more
resources using a graphical planning table. The objective is to accommodate situations like
adhering to dates, short lead times, and low stocks and to achieve capacity leveling for over-load
and under-load situations at work centers. The goals are to have optimum commitment of
machines and production lines and to select appropriate resources

Trigger
Plant maintenance orders need to be sequenced and/or rescheduled to meet the available
capacities within a production area.
