A work center is a unit in an organization where all activities associated with manufacturing processes are performed. Work centers are used to allocate resources and in work orders to complete the manufacturing process. Work centers are usually used to calculate the number of hours required to execute the process, the cost involved in project completion, and the availability of the resources within a planned duration of the project end date.
