– Allows a T-shirt made in China to be sent to the Netherlands for just 2.5 cents.

– The Eleonora Maersk and the other seven ships in her class are among the largest ever built:

– Almost 400 m long, or the length of four soccer fields, and another half-field across.

– The ships can carry 7,500 or so 40-foot containers, each of which can hold 70,000 T-shirts.

• On this voyage, the Eleonora was carrying supplies for Europe’s New Year celebrations: 1,850 tons of fireworks, including 30 tons of gunpowder.

Operations• Capacity – the ability to hold, receive,

• In business, viewed as the amount of output that a system is capable of achieving over a specific period of time

• Capacity management needs to consider both inputs and outputs

Concepts• Capacity utilization rate – a measure of how

close the firm is to its best possible operating level

• Economies of scale – the idea that as a planet gets larger and volume increases, the average cost per unit tends to drop

• Diseconomies of scale – at some point, the plant becomes too large and average cost per unit begins to increase

Concepts• Capacity focus – the idea that a production

facility works best when it is concentrated on a limited set of production objectives– Focused factory or plant within a plant (PWP) concept

• Capacity flexibility – the ability to rapidly increase or decrease product levels or the ability to shift rapidly from one product or service to another– Comes from the plant, processes, and workers or

from strategies that use the capacity of other organizations

ed.Decision Trees for Capacity

Analysis• A decision tree is a schematic model of the

sequence of steps in a problem – including the conditions and consequences of each step.

• Decision trees help analysts understand the problem and assist in identifying the best solution.

• Decision tree components include the following:– Decision nodes – represented with squares– Chance nodes – represented with circles– Paths – links between nodes

Trees• The owner of Hackers Computer Store is evaluating

three options – expand at current site, expand to a new site, do nothing.

• The decision process includes the following assumptions and conditions.– Strong growth has a 55% probability– New site cost is $210,000

Payoffs: strong growth = $195,000; weak growth = $115,000

– Expanding current site cost is $87,000 (in either year 1 or 2) Payoffs: strong growth = $190,000; weak growth =

$100,000– Do nothing

Payoffs: strong growth = $170,000; weak growth = $105,000

CapacityManufacturing Capacity

Goods can be stored for later use.

Goods can be shipped to other locations.

Volatility of demand is relatively low.

Service Capacity

Capacity must be available when service is needed –

cannot be stored.

Service must be available at customer demand point.

Much higher volatility is typical.

ed.Capacity Utilization and

Service Quality• The relationship between service capacity

utilization and service quality is critical.– Utilization is measured by the portion of time

servers are busy.

• Optimal levels of utilization are context specific.– Low rates are appropriate when the degree of

uncertainty (in demand) is high and/or the stakes are high (e.g., emergency rooms, fire departments).

– Higher rates are possible for predictable services or those without extensive customer contact (e.g., commuter trains, postal sorting).

Service Quality• Rate of service utilization and service

quality are directly linked.Arrivals exceed services – many customers are never served

Sufficient capacity to provide quality service

Service quality declines – disruptions or high arrival levels lead to long wait times
