Capacity and Aggregate Planning

Capacity Outputs: Examples

Capacity Outputs: Examples

The goal of capacity planning decisions (1) The capacity of the firm to produce

The goal of capacity planning decisions (1) The capacity of the firm to produce the service or good (2) The processes for providing the service or making the good (3) The layout or arrangement of the work space (4) The design of work processes to enhance productivity

Capacity • The max output that an organization be capable of producing • Measure

Capacity • The max output that an organization be capable of producing • Measure a single facility: – Design vs. Effective capacity – Capacity Utilization: design vs. efficient utilization • For systems have more than one facility and flows of product – System capacity and bottleneck – Improve system capacity

Determinants of Effective Capacity • Facilities • Human considerations – Adding people – Increasing

Determinants of Effective Capacity • Facilities • Human considerations – Adding people – Increasing employee motivation • Operations – Improving operating rate of a machine – Improving quality of raw materials and components • External forces – Safety regulations

Capacity Utilization Measures how much of the available capacity is actually being used: –

Capacity Utilization Measures how much of the available capacity is actually being used: – Always <=1(percentage of usage) – Higher the better – Denominator: • If effective capacity used: efficient utilization • If design capacity used: design utilization

Aggregate Planning • The process of planning the quantity and timing of output over

Aggregate Planning • The process of planning the quantity and timing of output over the intermediate range (3 -18 months) by adjusting production rate, employment, inventory • Master Production Schedule: formalizes the production plan and translates it into specific end item requirements over the short to intermediate horizon

Capacity Planning • The process of determining the amount of capacity required to produce

Capacity Planning • The process of determining the amount of capacity required to produce in the future. May be at the aggregate or product line level • Master Production Schedule anticipated build schedule • Time horizon must exceed lead times for materials

Capacity Planning • Look at lead times, queue times, set up times, run times,

Capacity Planning • Look at lead times, queue times, set up times, run times, wait times, move times • Resource availability • Material and capacity - should be in synch • driven by dispatch list - listing of manufacturing orders in priority sequence - ties to layout planning • load profiles - capacity of each section

the capacity decisions: • • When to add capacity How much capacity to add

the capacity decisions: • • When to add capacity How much capacity to add Where to add capacity What type of capacity to add • When to reduce capacity

Capacity Planning • Rough Cut Capacity Planning process of converting the master production schedule

Capacity Planning • Rough Cut Capacity Planning process of converting the master production schedule into requirements for key resources • capacity requirements plan - timephased display of present and future capacity required on all resources based on planned and released orders

Capacity Planning • Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) - process of determining in detail the

Capacity Planning • Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) - process of determining in detail the amount of labor and machine resources required to meet production plan • RCCP may indicate sufficient capacity but the CRP may indicate insufficient capacity during specific time periods

Theory of Constraints • Every system has a bottle neck • capacity of the

Theory of Constraints • Every system has a bottle neck • capacity of the system is constrained by the capacity of the bottle neck • increasing capacity at other than bottle neck operations does not increase the overall capacity of the system

Theory of Constraints • What needs to be changed • What to change to

Theory of Constraints • What needs to be changed • What to change to • How to make the change happen

Theory of Constraints • • • Identify the constraint Subordinate Inertia Walk the process

Theory of Constraints • • • Identify the constraint Subordinate Inertia Walk the process again inertia of change can create new bottle necks

Adjusting Capacity to Meet Demand 1. Producing at a constant rate and using inventory

Adjusting Capacity to Meet Demand 1. Producing at a constant rate and using inventory to absorb fluctuations in demand (level production) 2. Hiring and firing workers to match demand (chase demand) 3. Maintaining resources for high demand levels 4. Increase or decrease working hours (overtime and undertime) 5. Subcontracting work to other firms 6. Using part-time workers 7. Providing the service or product at a later time period (backordering)

Demand Management ü Shift demand into other periods ü Incentives, sales promotions, advertising campaigns

Demand Management ü Shift demand into other periods ü Incentives, sales promotions, advertising campaigns ü Offer product or services with countercyclical demand patterns ü Partnering with suppliers to reduce information distortion along the supply chain

Remedies for Underloads 1. Acquire more work 2. Pull work ahead that is scheduled

Remedies for Underloads 1. Acquire more work 2. Pull work ahead that is scheduled for later time periods 3. Reduce normal capacity

Remedies for Overloads 1. Eliminate unnecessary requirements 2. Reroute jobs to alternative machines or work centers 3. Split lots between two or more machines 4. Increase normal capacity 5. Subcontract 6. Increase the efficiency of the operation 7. Push work back to later time periods 8. Revise master schedule

Scheduling • Scheduling is the last step in the planning process? • It is one of the most challenging areas of operations management. • Scheduling presents many day-to-day problems for operations managers because of – – Changes in customer orders Equipment breakdowns Late deliveries from suppliers A myriad of other disruptions

Objectives in Scheduling Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø Meet customer due dates Minimize job

Objectives in Scheduling Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø Meet customer due dates Minimize job lateness Minimize response time Minimize completion time Minimize time in the system Minimize overtime Maximize machine or labor utilization Minimize idle time Minimize work-in-process inventory Efficiency

Sequencing Rules Ø Ø Ø Ø Ø FCFS - first-come, first-served LCFS - last come, first served DDATE - earliest due date CUSTPR - highest customer priority SETUP - similar required setups SLACK - smallest slack CR - critical ratio SPT - shortest processing time LPT - longest processing time

Critical Ratio Rule CR considers both time and work remaining time remaining work remaining

Critical Ratio Rule CR considers both time and work remaining time remaining work remaining due date - today’s date remaining processing time If CR > 1, job ahead of schedule If CR < 1, job behind schedule If CR = 1, job on schedule Ties scheduling to Gantt Chart or PERT/CPM

Why is Inventory Important to Operations Management? • The average manufacturing organization spends 53. 2% of every sales dollar on raw materials, components, and maintenance repair parts • Inventory Control – how many parts, pieces, components, raw materials and finished goods

Aggregate Inventory Management 1. 2. 3. 4. How much do we have now? How much do we want? What will be the output? What input must we get? • Correctly answering the question about when to order is far more important than determining how much to order.
