1 2.4 Capacity Planning

2 Learning Objectives Explain functions & importance of capacity planning State four techniques for capacity planning Explain capacity planning factor and bill of capacity techniques

3

4 Capacity Planning Determining the level of capacity needed to achieve scheduled production Comparing this with available capacity Plan necessary adjustments in capacity levels or schedules Critical elements: Labor Machine hours Facilities Warehouse space Engineering

5 Results of Insufficient Capacity Shortages Failure to meet production targets Overdue shipments to customers Frustrated production managers, and Loss of confidence in the formal system

6 Results of Too Much Capacity Low utilization of resources Manufacturing inefficiency High cost, and Reduced profit margins

7 Actions when Capacity is Under-Utilized Retrenchment Transfer out workers Look for more jobs Re-training of the workers

8 Prepare Production Schedule Determine Required Capacity Iterative Process for Production Scheduling No Required Capacity = Available Capacity? No Plan Adjusted Capacity Yes STOP and Capacity Capacity Plan Satisfactory? Planning Yes STOP

9 The Hierarchy of Capacity Plans and their Relationship with Production Schedule Schedule Planning Capacity Planning Production Planning Resource Planning Master Production Scheduling Rough Cut Capacity Planning Material Requirement Planning Capacity Requirement Planning Production Activity Control

12 Capacity Planning Factors Conversion unit used to convert a planning output into the number of units of some resource required to produce that output Conversion unit is obtained indirectly from aggregate historical data (Product Family quantity)

13 Calculating CPF Data Used in Resource Planning using CPF Total standard hours produced last quarter = 840 Number of units of product produce last quarter = 120 Average standard hours per unit (= 840/120) = 7 Department Standard Labor Hours Produced Last Quarter Total Production Plan Next Quarter Month Jan Feb Mar Total Units Percentage of Standard Labor Hours Resource Plan Load in Standard Labor Hours for Next Quarter Department Jan Feb Mar Total X X Total X40 7X48 7X50 7X /840X100

14 Limitation of CPF Technique No consideration is given to the lead times No consideration is given to current on-hand and work-inprogress inventories of components The average hours per unit used assumes that the same product mix experienced in the past will continue in the future No consideration is given to service parts and rework

15 Bill of Capacity States the capacities needed to produce a product according to the bill of material Basic data needed to construct a BOC are found in the BOM and routing files No consideration for lead times and current on-hand and in process inventories of components Does not take into account manufacturing lead times or current on hand and in-process inventories of components

21 Characteristics of BOC Conversion factors are developed directly and in detail Facilitates the separate and more accurate treatment of capacity required for service parts and rework Conversion factors are developed by product and applied to the MPS, the effects of projected changes in product mix can be taken into account

22 Time-Phase BOC (TPBOC) Similar to the BOC except time buckets in which loads occur are determined by backward scheduling from MPS using standard lead times Current on-hand and in-process inventories of components are not taken into account
