It provides for tracking the use and maintenance of production tools, the establishment of work centers for all production activities, the specific rates at which each work center can process its work, the days of the week when each work center is open, the required material, labor and overhead for each work center, the routing details for bills of material and manufacturing orders, and many other critical activities that must be managed to successfully run a manufacturing operation.
