Workbench Screen Shots MPS Workbench (initial view ) (see full screen) Default view: Item summary information is displayed. The user can selective expand the display for a single item to view the schedule detail or expand or collapse all items. The Capacity frame displays the default resource for the production line. MPS Workbench   ( expand all ) (see full screen) In this view the items in the workbench have been expanded. This displays the item schedule details. Also in this view we have contracted the capacity frame to show just the resource utilization percentage. This allows us to maximize the space for maintaining the schedule details.
