LWK "month" hours

   We're 405 CD.

   A monthly report created years ago by some forgotten employee includes by
   factory dept work center the fields
   * LWK.WMHRS = MTD Hours
   * LWK.WMIHR = MTD Hours In

   I have been asked to research what these fields represent, and where the
   data comes from that populates them.
   Hundreds of programs mess with this file .. So far, I dug into a tiny
   fraction of them.

   Looks to me like this is a Capacity Planning concept

   The hours are computed from standard routing time to do the quantity of
   the parts involved.

   "month" is not fiscal month but rolling 4 consecutive shop calendar weeks.

   LWK.WMIHR = MTD Hours In
   means work load to be done or planned, consisting of this week, next week,
   for 4 weeks worth

   LWK.WMHRS = MTD Hours
   means  work that labor reporting says we completed, consisting of this
   week, last week, for 4 weeks worth

   Am I on the right track, correctly figuring this out?
