But what about measuring capacity at the work center level? Wouldn't that be more accurate?

I'm going with A, the individual worker. That's where the real bottlenecks are, you know? The machines can only do so much if the workers are slacking off.

Hmm, D sounds like the best option. Measure capacity at all levels, from the individual to the entire plant. Gotta cover all your bases, like a good chef covers all their pans.

B, work center, is the way to go. That's where the real action happens, where the magic happens. Forget the individual worker, that's just a cog in the machine.
