CAPACITY
CAPACITY
Maximum rate of output from a process within
a defined time
Theoretical capacity vs. Effective capacity
250 ml glass
Output of assembly line
Ground realities decide the effective capacity
Capacity choices influence financial performance
Can affect the Industry
CAPACITY
Capacity can vary
Day-to-day uncertainties such as employee
absences, equipment breakdowns, and materialdelivery delays
Product Mix
MEASURES OF CAPACITY
Output units are homogeneous :
- Battery manufacturing unit
MEASUREMENTS OF CAPACITY
Input Rate Capacity
Commonly used for service operations where
output measures are particularly difficult
Hospitals : No of beds
Airlines : seat-miles per month
Movie theatres :No of seats
ISSUES
STRATEGIC CAPACITY
PLANNING
Capacity level of capital intensive resources :
- Equipments
- Facilities
- Manpower
It impacts :
- Response rate
- Cost structure
- Inventory policy
- Management & staff support

RETURNS TO SCALE
Increasing returns to scale
Law of diminishing returns
Decreasing returns to scale
Best operating level
Economies of Scale
Declining costs result from:
Fixed costs being spread over more and more
units
Longer production runs result in a smaller
proportion of labor being allocated to setups
Proportionally less material scrap
and other economies
Diseconomies of Scale
Increasing costs result from increased
congestion of workers and material, which
contributes to:
Increasing inefficiency
Difficulty in scheduling
Damaged goods
Reduced morale
Increased use of overtime
and other diseconomies
