This information can be used to plan production and ensure that resources are used efficiently.

  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the detailed capacity list, it is important to remember that it only displays the current capacity of each work center. It does not take into account any future changes in capacity, so it is important to plan ahead and adjust accordingly. Additionally, it is important to keep an eye on the total capacity of all work centers, as this can help ensure that resources are used efficiently.
