a.
Interpretation:Useful capacity measures are to be defined for Brewery.
Concept Introduction:
Capacity Measures:
The unit of capacity that helps to find volume or capacity of a particular element, product, area or others is known as capacity measures. For example, we know that capacity measures for the items which are dry in nature are different as compared to the liquid elements. The assessment for these units basically depends on mass, length and capacity. The units are measurable in imperial ways.

- 1. A 32,000-seat baseball stadium is used 17 times for games, concerts, and graduation ceremonies. Each event averages five hours and assumes the stadium is full for each event. The stadium is available 365 days a year from 7 am to midnight. (Notice: the focus is stadium “seat” utilization). a. What is stadium (seat) utilization using Equation 7.1 (pg 146)? (Show your calculations) b. If in the above scenario, the utilization was 75% during the 17 events, but there were 2 additional events that garnered 100% utilization, would this be an increase or decrease in overall utilization from the result in “a”? (Show calculations) c. As an Operations Manager how would you improve utilization at the stadium? Provide at least three optional improvement plans with details. EQUATION 7.1 is : UTILIZATION (U) = Resources used / resources avaliable EQUATION 7.2 is: UTILIZATION (U) = Demand Rate / [Service Rate * Number of Servers]arrow_forwardEx 5 Fitzsimmons & Fitzsimmons (2008) compare 2 capacity management strategies. Part of their comparison is presented below: Capacity plan: Level Capacity Chase Demand Customer waiting Generally low Moderate High Long run Labour skill level Low Forecasting Short run a) Motivate why the forecasting horizon is longer for Level capacity plans. b) Which assumption is used to reach the conclusion that a level capacity plan has a shorter customer waiting time?arrow_forwardExplain how the capacity analysis responds to a large number of processes operating simultaneously.arrow_forward
- Effective capacity is:a) the capacity a firm expects to achieve, given the currentoperating constraints.b) the percentage of design capacity actually achieved.c) the percentage of capacity actually achieved.d) actual output.e) efficiency.arrow_forwarda. what is the relationship between design capacity, system capacity, and actual output. b. how is a projected output within the boundaries of the design capacity and system capacity?arrow_forwardWhat is the fundamental distinction between design capacity and effective capacity? Provide a brief examplearrow_forward
- In a capacity analysis, O a. Actual output is the maximum output rate of an operation O b. Actual output does not exceed its effective сарacity O C. Effective capacity is lower than the actual output O d. Actual output exceeds effective capacityarrow_forwardDetermine the utilization and the efficiency for each of these situations:a. A loan processing operation that processes an average of 7 loans per day. The operation has a design capacity of 10 loans per day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per day.b. A furnace repair team that services an average of four furnaces a day if the design capacity is six furnaces a day and the effective capacity is five furnaces a day.c. Would you say that systems that have higher efficiency ratios than other systems will always have higher utilization ratios than those other systems? Explain.arrow_forwardCharles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 5555% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only production change that will be made in order to meet the increased demand. The bakery currently makes 1,800 loaves per month. Employees are paid $8 per hour. In addition to the labor cost, Charles also has a constant utility cost per month of $800 and a per loaf ingredient cost of $0.35 Current multifactor productivity for 640 work hours per month =0.27loaves/dollar (round your response to three decimal places).arrow_forward
- Capacity planning are strategic decisions, because: a. Impact organizations ability to meet future demands b. Affect operating costs cDo not involve long-term commitment of resources d. Cannot affect competitiveness e. Alternatives a) and b) are both correctarrow_forwarddiference between design capacity and effective capacity with examplesarrow_forward1. What factors should be considered when selecting the appropriate capacity cushion? Howdoes the choice of capacity cushion relate to other decisions in operations management?To other functional areas? 2. Capacity planning requires a demand forecast for an extended period of time into thefuture. What concerns would you have regarding an extended forecast as a capacityplanner?arrow_forward
