Chapter 10 Capacity Management Capacity is determined by—facilities‚ equipment‚ and labor—how they are organized‚ and their efficiency as determined by specific work methods. Capacity viewed in 2 ways: 1.As the maximum rate of output per unit of time‚ or 2.As units of resource availability. Or Can be viewed as The PRODUCTION RATE‚ the NUMBER OF UNITS a facility can hold‚ receive‚ store‚ or transport in a period of time Key Capacity issues: What: can the facility‚ process‚ or equipment accommodate

The term sustainable development is very much in vogue and is often inanely (even superficially) used by many individuals or societies trying to gain favour. However‚ its popularity is not without reason; ethical considerations and to a lesser extent‚ fear has cast it in the spotlight. Within an economics context‚ the neoclassical and ecological schools have explored the topic vigorously‚ and based on their individual beliefs‚ recommend different policy ideals to ensure that sustainable development

inaccessible or not fit for the human hand. CHAPTER 2: WORKING PRINCIPLE: The robotic arm will work in two modes. 1. Input by human: The robotic arm will emulate the actions performed by human arm. This will be done using a virtual arm which will be controlled by the human. The microcontroller will sense the motions performed by the virtual arm‚ understand them and output signals to the robotic arm. The robotic arm will move based on the signals provided by microcontroller. 2. Pre-programmed

through a series of linked processes (Cecil & Robert‚ 2008). Each process step has a specific capacity to produce output or take in input. In every case‚ there is at least one process step that limits throughput for the entire chain‚ and this process step is called the constraint. Increasing the capacity at any other process step except the constraint will not increase throughput for the entire process chain. Therefore‚ the theory of constraints is the idea that the system must be seen as a whole

A good process is supposed to have short cycle time. In general‚ work-in-process inventory is large for a process layout‚ and small for a product layout. Which of the following characteristics is not associated with a product layout? Highly skilled workers. which of the following characteristics is not usually associated with batch production? stable‚ predictable demand.Which of the following is not considered a major process type?

intermediate as well as the macro levels. Propounded by Michael E. Porter (1985)‚ the Value Chain model is centred on organisational processes. Generally the manufacturing facility is categorised into subsystems – each having its own inputs‚ throughputs and outputs. The efficiency of activities aligned through value chain determines the cost of production and hence influences the profitability of the organisation. The activities are grouped into primary activities and secondary/support activities

BANK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM STATEMENT: A Banking concern by the name “ABC Bank” wants to computerize its Banking Services. Bank Management is generally a very complicated task. To reduce the complexity‚ it wants to computerize its Banking services and for this purpose it wants software‚ which will handle all its transactions. The software created must get the overall information from the user. It should then give the user an option as to whether the user wants to make a withdrawal or
