Use the Production area to determine schedules, capacity, and automation for each product. Assembly lines have an automation level and a production capacity. The automation rating indicates the amount of labor required for production assembly. Lower ratings require more manpower. Higher ratings require less manpower. 1st Shift Capacity is defined as the number of units the line can produce with a single shift in a one-year period. Companies can produce up to twice that amount by using a 2nd Shift.
