Longterm demand Aggregate planning Production rates Labor requirements 5/15/12 . Aggregate Production Planning • Goal: Specify the optimal combination of – production rate (units/time) workforce level (how many workers?) inventory on hand (unsold product from previous runs) **the three items above are the basic controllable variables for production planning – – • Product group or broad category (Aggregation) Aggregate Production Planning is done in an organisation to match the demand with the supply on a period-by-period basis in a cost effective • Medium-Range: 6-18 months manner 5/15/12 . 000 metres during April to August – Change the production rate to 10. – Work on a one-shift basis throughout the year with 20% over time during July to October • 5/15/12 .000 metres during September to December – Carry 10% of monthly production as inventory during the first 9 months of production.The decisions involve – Amount of resources (productive capacity and labour hours) to be committed – Rate at which goods and services needs to be produced during a period – Inventory to be carried forward from one period to the next • An example from Garment Manufacturing – Produce at the rate of 9000 metres of cloth everyday during the months of January to March – Increase it to 11.

Strategies for Adjusting Production Planning • Level production – • Producing at a constant rate and using inventory to absorb fluctuations in demand • Overtime and undertime – Increasing or decreasing working hours Let outside companies complete the work Hiring part time workers to complete the work Providing the service or product at a later time period • Chase demand – Subcontracting – Hiring and firing workers to match demand • • Peak demand – Part-time workers – Maintaining resources for high-demand levels • Backordering – 5/15/12 . machines and other elements of production capacity required to satisfy aggregate demand. Approach to Aggregate Production Planning – Bottom up Approach 5/15/12 . materials. • Select the capacity plan from among the alternatives considered that satisfy aggregate demand and best meets the objectives of the organization.Steps in Aggregate Production • Prepare sales forecast for each product over the Planning planning horizon (6 to 18 months) • Sum up the individual products forecast into one aggregate demand for the factory • Transform the aggregate demand for each time period into labour. Introduction : What is line balancing? Everyone is doing the same amount of work Doing the same amount of work to customer requirement Variation is ‘smoothed’ No one overburdened No one waiting Everyone working together in a BALANCED fashion 5/15/12 What is Line balancing? . Introduction : What is line balancing? 5/15/12 . Introduction : What is line balancing? 5/15/12 . Line Balancing “Apportionment of sequential work activities into work stations in order to gain a high utilization of labour and equipment and therefore minimize idle time” In other words.e. arranging the production line so that there is even flow of production from one 5/15/12 work station to next i. so that there are no .

Goal of Assembly Line Balancing • Minimize number of work stations Minimize work load variance Minimize idle time Maximize line efficiency • • • Assembly Line Balancing is the procedure to assign tasks to workstations so that: •Precedence relationship is complied with •No workstation takes more than the cycle time to complete •Operational idle time is minimized 5/15/12 . How to Balance A Line • Specify the task relationship and their order of precedence Draw and label a precedence diagram Calculate desired cycle time/takt time Calculate the theoretical minimum number of work Group elements into work stations recognizing cycle time Evaluate the efficiency of line Repeat until desired line efficiency is reached 5/15/12 • • • stations • and procedure • • .

The assembly line operates 8 hours per day and the expected customer demand is 1000 units per day. G H. Balance the line and calculate the efficiency and theoretical minimum number of workstations. I J 5/15/12 .Example The table shows the tasks performed in a production line. SOLUTION •Step 1: Draw a precedence diagram according to the given sequential relationship 5/15/12 . 42 (~6 workstations) 5/15/12 .8 •Step 3: Determine the theoretical number of workstations required N= Total Task Time or total operation time / Takt time N= 156 / 28.8 = 5.•Step 2: Determine Takt time or Workstation Cycle Time C=Production time per day / Customer demand (or output per day) C= 28800 sec (8 hours) / 1000 units = 28. For this example our primary rule will be “number of following tasks” and the secondary rule will be “longest operation time” •Step 5: Assign tasks to workstations following the assignment rules and meeting precedence and cycle time requirements To form Workstation 1: 5/15/12 .•Step 4: Define your assignment rules. • Forming Workstation 2: 5/15/12 . 8 11 17.8 15 13.8 18 10.•Following the same criteria we achieve our balancing with 7 workstations Workstation Task 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 5/15/12 A C B F D G E H I J K Remaining Feasible Task with Task with Task Time Unassigned Remaining most LOT Time Tasks followers 13 15.8 E.

It is concerned with defining the long term and short term capacity needs of a firm and determining how these needs will be met. 5/15/12 .Capacity Planning In the context of capacity planning. "capacity" is the maximum amount of work or production that an organization is capable of completing in a given period of time. “Capacity planning” is the process of determining and adjusting the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products. Measurement of Capacity: By terms of input or output of firm. Number of seats Number of beds Number of students . Example: Organisation Measure of Capacity Automobile factory Number of vehicles Steel Mill Power Plant Job shop Airline Hospitals University 5/15/12 Tones of Steel Mega watt of electricity generated Labour hours worked. they cannot be easily changed… Adjustable Capacity – size of workforce. no. of hours per week they work. no. System Capacity – max. of shifts and extent of sub-contracting\ Design Capacity – max. Potential Capacity – Capacity which can be made available within the decision horizon of top management Types of Capacity 5/15/12 .Fixed Capacity – capital assets the company have at particular time. planned output that can be achieved under the full scale operations. output of a specific product or product mix that the system of workers and machines is capable of producing. Also known as Average Capacity Actual Capacity – Actual output achieved during a particular period.Capacity which can be made available within the current budgeted period Effective Capacity . Also known as practical capacity or operating capacity i. Practical Capacity = Theoretical Capacity – lost capacity due to inefficiency and scrap factor Normal Capacity – Estimated quantity of output that should be usually achieved.Capacity which is used within the current budgeted period.Immediate Capacity .e. 5/15/12 .

This is a more conservative strategy.organization is running at full capacity or beyond due to increase in demand. It decreases the risk of waste. This is a more moderate strategy.

To schedule end items to be completed promptly and when promised to customers. production capacity is efficiently utilized and low production costs result.
