Capacity Planning

The document discusses capacity planning and rough-cut capacity planning. It explains that capacity planning involves establishing production limits based on available resources like people, machines, and materials to meet production objectives. Rough-cut capacity planning is done to determine if proposed production workloads fit within available machine and labor capacity over a given time period, like a week. An example is provided showing how to calculate required labor hours and machine hours based on a master production schedule and compare it to available capacity.

In the above capacity if the production rate of one of the machines is less (say 30 units/ Than the remaining 3 (say 60/hr), then the capacity will be defined as 30units/hr.

WHY CAPACITY PLANNING

Capacity planning and control involves establishing, measuring, monitoring and adjusting limits or levels of capacity to facilitate smoother execution of all manufacturing schedules, including the MPS, MRP and Shop floor control (SFC).

Capacity planning is the process of determining the necessary people, machines and physical resources to meet the production objectives of the firm.

Capacity essentially limits the rate of output possible.

VARIOUS CAPACITIES

Design capacity Maximum obtainable output

Effective capacity, expected variations Maximum capacity subject to planned and expected variations such as maintenance, coffee breaks, scheduling conflicts.

Actual output, unexpected variations and demand Rate of output actually achieved--cannot exceed effective capacity. It is subject to random disruptions: machine break down, absenteeism, material shortages and most importantly the demand.

EFFICIENCY AND UTILIZATION


Actual output Efficiency =

Effective capacity
Actual output Machine Utilization = Design capacity

CAPACITY PLANNING

A major function of capacity planning is to match the capacity of the machine or facility with the demand for the products of the firm. Capacity planning can be classified into three planning horizons: Long range Medium range Short range
