Long term capacity planning is a strategic decision for a company that must be carefully researched before implementation. The placement of equipment and its related work and maintenance access, material and work flows, plus potential expansion is critical because plant design and construction are normally tied to it. Clearly, this is an example of form following function.
This course identifies the fundamental considerations associated with capacity planning so a student can converse more knowledgeably with plant designers, industrial engineers, and representatives of operations, procurement, human resources, and safety.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Analyze floor plans to improve workflow.
- Evaluate workflows to determine their current efficiency.
- Explain and apply the principles of line balancing.
- Determine the adequacy of a work process flow.
- Revise workflows to improve efficiency.
- Explain and apply the concept of flow time.
- Create optimal production cycle timing.
- Apply three capacity planning strategies effectively.
- Use the skills learned in the course to complete practice exercises.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
