Design#
The Production Work Module introduces or extends the following concepts.
Work Center#
A Work Center represents a specific area or a machine in which a particular set of Operations is performed. Work centers can be organized into a tree structure representing a production chain, with each work center linked to a Category. The cost of each work center can be defined using different methods, such as per cycle or per hour.
Work Center Category#
The Work Center Category concept provides a way of grouping Work Centers.
Work#
A Work represents an Operation assigned to a Work Center as part of a Production order.
Each work, at any time, can ben in one of several different states. A work progresses through these states until it is done. During this process, the number and the duration of each cycle are recorded to calculate the total cost of the work.
Operation#
When the Production Work Module is activated, the operation can be linked to a Work Center Category which determines which Work Centers can support the operation.

The Operation concept is introduced by the Production Routing Module.
Production#
When the Production Work Module is activated, the production gains new properties such as the main Work Center and the list of Works that are defined by default from the Routing.
