CAPACITY PLANNING

Develop current capacity plans

Utilize time study data, planned shift times, number of shifts, planned work days per year, number of machines, and current volumes

Determine the current capacity utilization for each machine

Develop future capacity plans

Utilize current capacity plans and modify based on future improvements and forecasted volumes

Determine the optimal number of shifts and planned shift times

Recommend potential future machines needed to increase capacity based on future forecasted volumes

IMEG Result: Increased capacity by 50%
