created work center that was to bill at a higher rate.

(Turnaround Rate)

Mass Change saved the day

Planning Board made shifting work orders, to mirror real world activities, much more user

friendly and accurate.

Planning Board used for Manpower Leveling

Monitoring Manpower Needs by Work Centers & Adjust with Mass Change based on

Workload per Work Center

Mass Change was used to update Priority Changes as they occurred, monitoring

Critical Path
