-
strategy
what are we moving towards, where are we going ( normal a 5 year plan)
-
all organization must be thinking into the future and where they want to be.
true
-
Capacity Planning
- how much a company can handle (ex IUS building, class size, parking lot)
- the investment in things that would effect are output
-
Capacity
- the upper limit or ceiling on the load that operating unit can handle
- Delimans excited do to compasity
- - it takes time its not emedited
-
if we have more capacity then demand
if you have more demand then capacity
we lose money
lose market share
-
Capacity vs Load
- - is a rate at which work is drawn from the system
- - is the volume of work in the system (how much we are dumping into the system)
- Ex Funnel
-
strategic capacity planninng GOAL
to achieve a match between the long term supply capabilities of an organization and the predicted level of long term demand
-
capacity planning questions
- what kind of capacity is needed?
- How much is needed to match demand?
- When is it needed?
-
a no constraint already has extra capacity
sometime paying a premium to fix a constraint can pay off in the long run
true
-
Acutal output
- the rate of output actually achieved
- it cannot exceed effective capacity
-
design and effective capacity
effeciency- is always larger by %
- - the maximum output rate or service capacity an operation, process , or facility is disgned for
- - design capacity minus allowance such as time, and maintenance
-
capacity buffers (cushion)
- extra capacity to offset demand uncertainty
- capacity cushion = 100% Utilization
- -time
-
service capacity planning challenges
- the need to be near customers
- the i anbility to store service
-
demand management strategies
strategies used to offset capacity limitations and that are intended to achieve a closer match between supply and demand
-
in House or Outsource and factor to consider
- Organization must always ask decide whether to produce a good or servie itself or outsource ( make or buy discsions)
- -is it a constraint
- -available capacity
- expertise
- quality considerations
-
developing capacity alternatives things that can be done to enhance capacity management
- design flexibility into system
- take stage of life cycle into account
- take a "big picture" approach
-
design capacity
effective capacity
- the maxium designed service capacity or output rate
- design capacity minus allowance such as personal time, equipment maintenance, delays due to scheduling problems, and changing the mix of products
-
Efficiency=
Utilization=
- Actual output/effective capacity
- Actual outputs/design capacity
-
cost volume analysis
focuses on the relationship between cost, revenue, and volume of output
-
Break Even Point (BEP)
The volume of output at which total cost and total revenue are equal
