MCC ndi ufa woyera, wopanda fungo, komanso wopanda kukoma womwe susungunuka m'madzi ndi zosungunulira zambiri. Ili ndi kupsinjika kwabwino kwambiri, komwe kumapangitsa kukhala chisankho chodziwika bwino pakupanga mapiritsi, chifukwa atha kugwiritsidwa ntchito kuwongolera kuyenda komanso kufananiza kwazomwe zimagwira ntchito piritsi. MCC ilinso ndi zinthu zabwino zomangirira, zomwe zimathandiza kugwirizanitsa piritsi limodzi panthawi yopanga ndi kuyendetsa.

Kuphatikiza pa kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwake m'mafakitale opanga mankhwala ndi zakudya, MCC imagwiritsidwanso ntchito pazinthu zina, monga kupanga mapepala ndi makatoni, komanso m'mafakitale omanga ndi utoto.
