Creating an Advanced Manufacturing Work Center
A work center is a group of resources (people, assets, or both) that perform a specific step in the manufacturing process. After you define a work center group, you can assign that work center to cover specific steps in the manufacturing process. For example, your assembly process might require a manufacturing group, a quality assurance group, and a packing machine group.
You can use shop calendar data to help define rough cut capacity parameters.
Before you create an advanced manufacturing work center, you must create a manufacturing work center. For more information, see Creating Manufacturing Work Centers or Groups.
