Because each organization has a unique capacity model, there is no standard production capacity formula, but still, here are some general capacity planning steps any manufacturing business can follow. Estimate the design capacity of your organization by identifying the maximum output that can be proces...
This paper describes an intelligent system which can be used firstly for assessing the real need, if any, to carry out finite capacity planning in a given manufacturing environment. The need for finite capacity planning is assessed in terms of an essential requirement, its desirability, or its ...
Avoiding Bottlenecks: In manufacturing, they identify potential bottlenecks (places where things might slow down) and plan to prevent them. In a nutshell, capacity requirements planning is like planning a big meal. It’s about making sure you have the right ingredients, know when to cook each ...
As a production planning device, capacity planning is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It consists of several individual planning tools designed to address various aspects and stages of the manufacturing process. Rough-Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) is an important, intermediate stage tool in capaci...
However, also these classes of techniques often weaken their efficiency when applied in a repetitive manufacturing environment, since they do not fully exploit the specificity of assemble-to-order production systems. In this paper we develop a hierarchical planning approach for assemble-to-order ...
Multi-national, large-scale and complex manufacturing systems, such as those for automotive manufacturers, often require a significant investment in production capacity, as well as great management efforts in strategic planning. Capacity... Sabet - 《Nottingham Trent University》 被引量: 0发表: 2012...
Methods, computer program products and systems are disclosed for generating a planned time duration for a manufacturing process operation defined for planning purposes that includes an aggregation of multiple defined execution operations. Electronic information is received that specifies a production demand th...
In this paper we discuss a framework for capacity planning and lead time management in manufacturing companies, with an emphasis on the machine shop. First we show how queueing models can be used to find approximations of the mean and the variance of manufacturing shop lead times. These quantiti...

Characterization of key manufacturing uncertainties in next generation therapeutics and vaccines across scales A key reason for this was the lack of a systematic framework and approach to support capacity planning under uncertainty. To address this, we present a... M Sarkis,N Shah,MM Papathanasiou...
