         </ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>A place where production activities are performed. Resources,
		  such as people and machines, are lined to a work center. A work center is a
		  group of resource units used as a functional planning unit. The operation rate
		  code, which is linked to the work center, is used to calculate the cost price
		  of an item or the estimated and actual costs. The capacity load on a work
		  center is used in the planning of production. Work centers can be part of
		  enterprise units used for multisite modeling purposes.</ListItem>

         <ListItem>Machines are linked to work centers and are used to plan

         <ListItemHead>Operations</ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>The operation data for standard and customized manufactured
		  items is maintained with operations. Operation data is stored and maintained
		  for standard-items and customised-items. A series of operations is performed to
		  manufacture an item, the sequence of operations is defined as a routing in
		  operations. Yield and scrap is defined per operation.</ListItem>

         </ListItemHead>
         <ListItem>The run time and production rate of an operation are
		  determined using norm tables. After a matrix is defined for two physical
		  characteristics, such as length and width a set of standard operation times can
		  be maintained for the X-Y coordinates. When tasks and routings are defined, the
		  run time and production rate can be calculated using a norm table.</ListItem>
