Entering Test Results for Manufacturing (Production Schedule)—Key Exercises
| IMPORTANT |
| It is extremely important that you set up and work within your own
site to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other
site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of
other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be
isolated in your own site. |
