Description
Summary:The objective of this paper is to provide procedures to aid in the capacity planning effort at the strategic level. A general model is formulated which allows the computation of machine requirements at the end product level and a procedure for elimination of non-key machines from further analysis is developed. A procedure for determining the effective production capacity based on the remaining key machines is then presented. An example of the application of these procedures is provided followed by general comments regarding implementation.
