      <Paragraph>Each work center is a <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#000005" role="glossary">department</Link>. LN searches for all
		operators assigned to the department by means of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/com/tccom0101m000" role="session">Employees - General (tccom0101m000)</GUIRef> session, and sums up their weekly capacities. The
