I'm working with a client on defining their capacity.  The main constraint
is tooling, however, using that as the basis for Work Centers would
necessitate setting up somewhere in the neighborhood of 2000 work centers.
Only one set of tooling exists, although it can be used on multiple
machines.  If WC's/capacity are defined as machine groupings then the dates
on Shop Orders are grossly misstated, not enough lead time is given.

Our current approach is to define capacity in BPCS to get the correct lead
time on Shop Orders and find another method to assess capacity load. Any
ideas on approaches would be appreciated.  Are there any good third party
tools available that would help in this situation?
