A work center group is an entity regrouping several work centers.

Depending on how the production is organized, a work center group regroups work centers that carry out similar actions (assembly center, paint center, etc.) or that corresponds to a dedicated production line.

A work center group can be composed of resources of machine, labor or sub-contract type defined on one or several sites.

Presentation

A work center group can be at level 1, 2 or 3: this level is used to apply a filter in the representation of the work center groups when executing the Optimization with Finite Capacity function. The work centers attached to this work center group inherit this level of representation by default, which remains modifiable.

For a work center group, a representation of all the work center groups attached to it along with the site, are available.
