π CAPACITY AND PRODUCTIVITY MODELS
Do you know how much you can really produce? Know your limits and enhance them.
Understanding your actual, effective design capacity is crucial for accurate planning. Productivity, the ratio of outputs to inputs, is your key metric.
Key Points
- Distinguishes effective and real design capacity π
- Measure productivity: Exits / Entries π
- Identify areas for improvement regularly π
Practical Example: One plant had a design capacity of 1000 units/day, but its effective capacity was 750 due to tool changes. By measuring the gap, it implemented SMED and increased effective capacity to 920 units/day (+23%).
Reflection: How do you measure capacity in your company?
