Work Centers can be defined as those places on the shop floor
or assembly line where work or value is added to a production process.
With the UA Work Center definition, you can subdivide your organization's
manufacturing capabilities into discrete areas, each with unique
characteristics that reflect the realities of your production environment.
The UA Work Center solution is completely flexible, and can be a
representation of a physical operation or merely a step where costs are
added to a production campaign. Work Centers can hold an unlimited number of
user defined definitions for specific routings such as; labor, machine
capacity, worker skills, employee certification to operate machinery or
perform certain work, schedules of hours or work shifts, fixed costs,
overhead costs, and literally any other relevant attribute.
An unlimited number of work centers can be created, and more than one Work
Center definition may be created to identify the same place of production.
This allows the same Work Center to handle different types of Production
Orders. Because each Work Center stores capacity data, this information can
be used to manage workloads and prevent bottlenecks. Load Balancing, or the
re-scheduling of current orders, is also easily managed as UA provides
insightful information for logical decisions regarding expediting or
de-expediting orders.
Both flexible and powerful, the Work Center definition of UA Manufacturing
and Production module makes it an ideal choice for both light manufacturing
as well as very complex production campaigns.
