Introduction to Materials Management Chapter 5 – Capacity Management
Basic Capacity Definitions n n Capacity Required – capacity needed to produce a desired output in a given time period Capacity Planning – determining the resources and methods needed to meet the priority plan Capacity Control – monitoring production, comparing with the capacity plan, and taking appropriate corrective actions Capacity Management – determining capacity needed as well as providing, monitoring, and controlling the capacity Introduction to Materials Management, 7 th Edition Arnold, Chapman, Clive © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2001, 1998, 1996 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.

Capacity Planning Levels n n n Resource Planning – Long range resource requirements linked to the production plan Rough-cut Capacity Planning – Used to check feasibility of MPS Capacity Requirements Planning – Detailed work center capacity plans linked to MRP Introduction to Materials Management, 7 th Edition Arnold, Chapman, Clive © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2001, 1998, 1996 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.

Scheduling Orders n n Back scheduling (the typical approach) – Start with the due date, use lead time to find the proper start date for each operation Forward scheduling – Launch the order into the first (gateway) work center, then use the lead times to find when the order will be completed at each work center Introduction to Materials Management, 7 th Edition Arnold, Chapman, Clive © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2001, 1998, 1996 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.

Back Scheduling Example n n n An order for 150 of a component is due on day 135 An order starts at the beginning of a day and finished at the end of a day Operation times for the 150 ordered: n n Operation 10 – 4 days in work center 12 Operation 20 – 5 days in work center 14 Operation 30 – 1 day in work center 17 Operation 40 – 2 days in work center 03 Introduction to Materials Management, 7 th Edition Arnold, Chapman, Clive © 2012, 2008, 2004, 2001, 1998, 1996 Pearson Education, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458.
