This article describes how an individual planning tool can help to plan capacities reliably and promptly during a running relocation process. First, the basic concept and the structure of the tool are explained. After that, possible fields of application are introduced on the example of a project...
Coxpresenta very compelling walkthrough, using a manufacturing plant as an example, of how to employ a business-centric approach toward developing a process of ongoing improvement. (Refer to“Readings”for other suggested references.)Following are the key pillars of business-centric capacity planning:...
Understanding Capacity Requirements Planning Capacity requirements planning is the process through which a company—primarily inmanufacturing—figures out how much product it needs to make, and determines if it has the ability to meet itsproductiongoals. ...
Flexible manufacturing systems are also useful for improving capacity utilization. By designing production systems that can easily adapt to changing product demands and production volumes, manufacturers can better match their output to market needs. Implementing modular production lines or multi-skilled workf...
