Capacity Planning and Utilization
Chapter 10 Vollmann, Berry, Whybark, Jacobs
2
Session 13 Capacity Planning Techniques
Capacity Planning: Role in MPC Systems Rough Cut Capacity Planning Capacity Bill Technique Resource Profiles Technique Capacity Requirements Planning Capacity Definitions Technique Advantages/Limitations
3
Capacity Planning in the MPC System
4
Capacity planning objectives:
Estimation of capacity requirements Execution
5
Techniques:1 Capacity Planning using Overall Factors (CPOF):
Uses historical data based on end products Applied to labor and machine hours The standard rates are applied to work centers CPOF is stated in terms of weekly or monthly time periods (revised periodically)
6
Figure 10.2 & 10.3
7
Techniques:2 Capacity Bills
Direct estimation between work centers and individual end products. Takes into account product mix shifts More data is required Takes historical trends in consideration

Techniques:3 Resource Profiles
Takes into consideration the specific timing of the projected workloads at individual work centers Time-phased projections BOM method + production lead time

Techniques:4 Capacity Requirement Planning
Differs from rough-cut capacity techniques by: Utilizes time-phased material plan info. (MRP record) Utilizes gross to net feature of MRP Utilizes open orders capacity (for remaining work) Demand for service part

Finite Capacity Scheduling
An extension of CRP, with feasibility adjustment Vertical loading: work centers are scheduled, job by job. Horizontal loading: a shop order is scheduled according to priority.
18
Finite Capacity Scheduling
Front scheduling: starts from the current date and schedule forward the job Back scheduling: schedule the job backward from the due date.

22
Input/output control Matching capacity and execution
Use shop floor data Compare input (jobs entering work center) to output (jobs exiting work center) Use standard to actual hours Deviation can result from: productivity, breakdown, absence, …etc Backlog control

24
Capacity Definitions Required capacity: Estimated using capacity planning techniques Rated capacity: Available capacity considering staffing equipment capabilities Demonstrated capacity: Actual (or realized) capacity based on actual production output
25
Capacity Measures Available time: the total hours available at a WC. {3 Shifts * 8 Hours* 5 Days} Utilization: percentage of time a WC is active. {[Hours actually worked/Available Hours]*100%} Efficiency: {[actual rate of production/standard rate of production]*100%}
26
Capacity Measures Rated capacity: result in standard hours
Available time * Utilization * Efficiency Demonstrated capacity: use previous record to measure capacity. {sum of previous actual work/number of periods}
27
Capacity Planning Techniques: Pros and Cons Capacity Bills
Easy to use Minimal computational information Consider product mix Cons Doesn’t consider lead times, inventory, or gross-to-netting requirements Less accurate
28
Capacity Planning Techniques: Pros and Cons Resource Profiles
Easy to use Minimal computational Considers lead times Consider product mix Cons Doesn’t consider inventory information or gross-to- netting requirements Less accurate
29
Capacity Planning Techniques: Pros and Cons Capacity Requirements Planning
Considers: gross-to-netting, Inventory information, lead times More accurate Considers product mix Cons Extensive computational requirements Requires MRP system, Time-phased records
