Use Work Center Maintenance (14.5) to set up work centers.
Work Center and Machine. Uniquely identify a work center by a
work center code along with an optional machine code. Leave
Machine Code blank if there is only one type of machine in the work
center. If there are multiple machine types or models, set up a
different record for each machine, using the same work center ID.
Department. Enter a department code, set up in Department
Maintenance (14.1). You must assign each work center to a
department.
Work Location. Enter a work location code for the work center—
created in Work Location Maintenance (29.7)—only if you are using
the U.S. Payroll module.
Queue Time and Wait Time. Enter the standard time, in decimal
hours, a job normally spends waiting at this work center before it is
set up and processed and after processing has been completed. These
values display as defaults when you reference this work center as part
of a standard, routing, or process operation.
Machines/Op. Enter the number of machines at this work center that
can work at the same time to process a given operation. CRP uses this
number to calculate work center capacity. This value displays as the
default when you reference this work center as part of a standard,
routing, or process.
Setup and Run Crew. Optionally, enter the number of people required
to set up and run this work center. These fields are for reference only.
