Chapter 5
• Capacity is the upper limit on the load that an operating unit can handle
• For instance…a certain machine can only process 500 parts an hour
8
Long-Term Capacity
• Impacts the ability to meet future demands (can’t complete an order – loss of profits) • Affects operating costs (if operating at less than capacity, more fixed costs allocated to each product) • Major determinant of initial costs • Involves long-term commitment (purchase of equipment that can only handle so much) • Affects competitiveness (if you can’t fill an 9 order it goes to your competitor)
Measuring Capacity
• Design Capacity
– Max output in ideal conditions
• Effective Capacity
– Max capacity given delays, product mix, etc.
