Organizations face a significant challenge to track the location, quantity,

popular approach to tracking fixed assets uses serial numbered asset
tags, which are labels often with bar codes for easy and accurate
reading. The owner of the assets can take inventory with a mobile bar
code reader and then produce a report. Off-the-shelf software packages
for fixed asset management are marketed to businesses small and large.
Some enterprise resource planning systems are available with fixed
assets modules. Some tracking methods automate the process, such as
by using fixed scanners to read bar codes on railway freight cars or by
attaching a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag to an asset.
15.Capacity management:- Capacity management refers to the ability to
meet a customer’s requirements with the available resources
(machinery, factory, labour, raw materials etc) at hand. Generally the
required outputs during manufacturing resource constraints are met by
working overtime or redeploying the workforce. Capacity planning is
done on the basis of projections for future product demand, labour and
equipment requirements. Time and Capacity are the two main
constraints in capacity management. Three types of capacity are taken
into consideration:
 Potential Capacity – It is for the long term and indicates the
available capacity at hand which can be utilised to influence the
planning of senior management
 Immediate Capacity – It is the maximum available capacity which
can be utilised in the short term ( on a day-to-day basis)
 Effective capacity - It is the part of the total available capacity
which can actually be put into use. When a customer has provided
a deadline, managers have to plan backwards.
