The following is the navigation path to use before you start the exercises:

BPCS Main menu  CAP menu  Capacity Requirements (or CAP300)

Type 11 for Your Work Center - Component 1

1. Use the Navigation Path to start this exercise.
2. Type 11 in the Act column.

workshop’s profile. For example, the window below was
generated on the same day that the demand was input into the
system.
