Which of the following is NOT a step needed to determine capacity available at a work center?

Check open order file
Check planned order releases
Check employee schedules
Check work center file

The correct answer is: Check employee schedules

Determining capacity available at a work center involves several critical steps that help in understanding the current and potential capacity of the resources at that location. Checking the open order file helps identify demand that is already present, evaluating how many orders are pending. Analyzing planned order releases aids in forecasting future requirements based on production schedules. Examining the work center file allows for insights into the capabilities, constraints, and past performance of the work center. Employee schedules, while they play a role in overall workforce management, do not directly inform the immediate calculation of capacity available at a work center in the same way the other options do. Capacity assessment focuses more on the orders and resources rather than on individual employee availability, which may vary widely. Hence, checking employee schedules is not a necessary step in the direct determination of the work center's capacity.
