Capacity PlanningCapacity Planning
Capacity is the upper limit or ceiling on the load that an operating unit can handle.
Capacity also includes Equipment Space Employee skills
The basic questions in capacity handling are: What kind of capacity is needed? How much is needed? When is it needed?

CapacityCapacity
Design capacity maximum output rate or service capacity an
operation, process, or facility is designed for
Effective capacity Design capacity minus allowances such as
personal time, maintenance, and scrap
Actual output rate of output actually achieved--cannot
exceed effective capacity.

Key Decisions of Capacity Key Decisions of Capacity PlanningPlanning
1. Amount of capacity needed• Capacity cushion (100% - Utilization)
2. Timing of changes
3. Need to maintain balance
4. Extent of flexibility of facilities
Capacity cushion – extra demand intended to offset uncertainty
![Page 11: Operations Management Stevenson Chapter05](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081413/5467c5e8b4af9f623f8b591a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Steps for Capacity PlanningSteps for Capacity Planning
1. Estimate future capacity requirements
2. Evaluate existing capacity
3. Identify alternatives
4. Conduct financial analysis
5. Assess key qualitative issues
6. Select one alternative
7. Implement alternative chosen
8. Monitor results

Forecasting Capacity Forecasting Capacity RequirementsRequirements
Long-term vs. short-term capacity needs Long-term relates to overall level of capacity
such as facility size, trends, and cycles Short-term relates to variations from
seasonal, random, and irregular fluctuations in demand

If annual capacity is 2000 hours, then we need three machines to handle the required volume: 5,800 hours/2,000 hours = 2.90 machines

In-House or OutsourcingIn-House or Outsourcing
1. Available capacity
2. Expertise
3. Quality considerations
4. Nature of demand
5. Cost
6. Risk
Outsource: obtain a good or service from an external provider

Developing Capacity AlternativesDeveloping Capacity Alternatives
1.Design flexibility into systems
2.Take stage of life cycle into account
3.Take a “big picture” approach to capacity changes
4.Prepare to deal with capacity “chunks”
5.Attempt to smooth out capacity requirements
6.Identify the optimal operating level

Economies of ScaleEconomies of Scale
Economies of scale If the output rate is less than the optimal level,
increasing output rate results in decreasing average unit costs
Diseconomies of scale If the output rate is more than the optimal
level, increasing the output rate results in increasing average unit costs

Financial AnalysisFinancial Analysis
Cash Flow - the difference between cash received from sales and other sources, and cash outflow for labor, material, overhead, and taxes.
Present Value - the sum, in current value, of all future cash flows of an investment proposal.

Waiting-Line AnalysisWaiting-Line Analysis
Useful for designing or modifying service systems
Waiting-lines occur across a wide variety of service systems
Waiting-lines are caused by bottlenecks in the process
Helps managers plan capacity level that will be cost-effective by balancing the cost of having customers wait in line with the cost of additional capacity
