Planning process Resource Planning Inputs to capacity planning Capacity • • • • The throughput, or the number of units a facility can hold, receive, store, or produce in a period of time Determines fixed costs Determines if demand will be satisfied Three time horizons Capacity Management • Capacity management is planning and controlling resources needed to meet production objectives – Planning determining resources needed to meet the priority plan; selecting methods to make that capacity available – Controlling monitoring output, comparing it with the plan, and taking corrective action Matching Capacity and Demand • Demand Management – – – • vary prices change lead times encourage/discourage business Capacity Management – – – – adjust staffing adjust equipment and processes change methods to facilitate production redesign the product to facilitate production Capacity Planning Process • • • • Determine the capacity available at each work center Translate the released and planned orders into the capacity required at each work center in each time period Sum up the capacities required for each work center to determine the load on each work center in each time period Resolve differences between available capacity and required capacity Planning Over a Time Horizon Long-range planning Intermediaterange planning Add facilities Add long lead time equipment * Subcontract Add equipment Add shifts Short-range planning * Modify capacity * Limited options exist Add personnel Build or use inventory Schedule jobs Schedule personnel Allocate machinery Use capacity Resource Planning • • • RP involves longrange capacity resource requirements and is directly linked to production planning RP involves changes in manpower, capital equipment, product design, or other facilities that take a long time to acquire and eliminate The production plan and RP set the limits and levels for production RoughCut Capacity Planning RCCP is the process to check the feasibility of the master production schedule (MPS) (end items), provide warnings of any bottlenecks, ensure utilization of work centers, and advise vendors of capacity requirements Capacity Requirements Planning • • CRP is directly linked to the material requirements plan (MRP) (component items) CRP is the most detailed, complete, and accurate of the capacity planning techniques and is highly important in the immediate time periods DesignandEffectiveCapacity ỵ Design capacity is the maximum theoretical output of a system ỵ ỵ Normally expressed as a rate Effective capacity is the capacity a firm expects to achieve given current operating constraints ỵ Often lower than design capacity Utilization and Efficiency Utilization is the percent of design capacity achieved Utilization = Actual output/Design capacity Efficiency is the percent of effective capacity achieved Efficiency = Actual output/Effective capacity Bakery Example Actual production last week = 148,000 rolls Effective capacity = 175,000 rolls Design capacity = 1,200 rolls per hour Bakery operates 7 days/week, 3 8 hour shifts Design capacity = (7 x 3 x 8) x (1,200) = 201,600 rolls Bakery Example Actual production last week = 148,000 rolls Effective capacity = 175,000 rolls Design capacity = 1,200 rolls per hour Bakery operates 7 days/week, 3 8 hour shifts Design capacity = (7 x 3 x 8) x (1,200) = 201,600 rolls Bakery Example Actual production last week = 148,000 rolls Effective capacity = 175,000 rolls Design capacity = 1,200 rolls per hour Bakery operates 7 days/week, 3 8 hour shifts Design capacity = (7 x 3 x 8) x (1,200) = 201,600 rolls Utilization = 148,000/201,600 = 73.4% Bakery Example Actual production last week = 148,000 rolls Effective capacity = 175,000 rolls Design capacity = 1,200 rolls per hour Bakery operates 7 days/week, 3 8 hour shifts Design capacity = (7 x 3 x 8) x (1,200) = 201,600 rolls Utilization = 148,000/201,600 = 73.4% Bakery Example Actual production last week = 148,000 rolls

148,000/201,600 = 73.4% Efficiency = 148,000/175,000 = 84.6% Bakery Example Actual production last week = 148,000 rolls Effective capacity = 175,000 rolls Design capacity = 1,200 rolls per hour Bakery

production last week = 148,000 rolls Effective capacity = 175,000 rolls Design capacity = 1,200 rolls per hour Bakery operates 7 days/week, 3 8 hour shifts Efficiency = 84.6% Efficiency of new line = 75% Expected Output = (Effective Capacity)(Efficiency) = (175,000)(.75) = 131,250 rolls Bakery Example Actual production last week = 148,000 rolls Effective capacity = 175,000 rolls Design capacity = 1,200 rolls per hour Bakery operates 7 days/week, 3 8 hour shifts Efficiency = 84.6% Efficiency of new line = 75% Expected Output = (Effective Capacity)(Efficiency) = (175,000)(.75) = 131,250 rolls
