Creating Work Center Groups

To create and maintain work center groups, use the Work Center Groups (EN_WC_GRP) component.

PeopleSoft Manufacturing enables you to define work center groups. That way, in PeopleSoft Supply Planning you can analyze aggregate capacity and detail resource usage for a subset of work centers contained in a planning instance.

To create a work center group, all work centers must share the same:

  • Allocation strategy

  • Resource class

  • Bucket size
