      <Paragraph>A large variety of products are produced. Production is
		organized around relatively independent work centers. Production uses a large
		variety of routings and multipurpose machinery. Production planning must create
		a balance between work center workload, order lead times, and inventory
		levels.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>For a job shop type of production, you can use the workload
		control planning method. During planning, orders are moved back and possibly
		forward in time, to level out capacity requirements of bottleneck work centers
		or machines.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Production is generally in low volumes. The exact work centers
		and tasks used to produce the specific products can differ
		significantly.</Paragraph>
