CAPACITY PLANNING

Capacity is defined as the ability to achieve, store or produce. For an organization, capacity
would be the ability of a given system to produce output within the specific time period. In
operations, management capacity is referred as an amount of the input resources available to
produce relative output over period of time. In general, terms capacity is referred as maximum
production capacity, which can be attained within a normal working schedule. Capacity planning
is essential to be determining optimum utilization of resource and plays an important role
decision-making process, for example, extension of existing operations, modification to product
lines, starting new products, etc.
Strategic Capacity Planning
A technique used to identify and measure overall capacity of production is referred to as strategic
capacity planning. Strategic capacity planning is utilized for capital intensive resource like plant,
machinery, labor, etc. Strategic capacity planning is essential as it helps the organization in
meeting the future requirements of the organization. Planning ensures that operating cost are
maintained at a minimum possible level without affecting the quality. It ensures the organization
remain competitive and can achieve the long-term growth plan.

Capacity Planning Classification


Capacity planning based on the timeline is classified into three main categories long range,
medium range and short range.

Long Term Capacity:


Long range capacity of an organization is dependent on various other capacities like
design capacity, production capacity, sustainable capacity and effective capacity. Design
capacity is the maximum output possible as indicated by equipment manufacturer under
ideal working condition. Production capacity is the maximum output possible from
equipment under normal working condition or day. Sustainable capacity is the maximum
production level achievable in realistic work condition and considering normal machine

breakdown, maintenance, etc. Effective capacity is the optimum production level under
pre-defined job and work-schedules, normal machine breakdown, maintenance, etc.

Medium Term Capacity:


The strategic capacity planning undertaken by organization for 2 to 3 years of a time
frame is referred to as medium term capacity planning.

Short Term Capacity: The strategic planning undertaken by organization for a daily
weekly or quarterly time frame is referred to as short term capacity planning.

Goal of Capacity Planning


The ultimate goal of capacity planning is to meet the current and future level of the requirement
at a minimal wastage. The three types of capacity planning based on goal are lead capacity
planning, lag strategy planning and match strategy planning.

Factors Affecting Capacity Planning


Effective capacity planning is dependent upon factors like production facility (layout, design,
and location), product line or matrix, production technology, human capital (job design,
compensation), operational structure (scheduling, quality assurance) and external structure
( policy, safety regulations)

Forecasting v/s Capacity Planning


There would be a scenario where capacity planning done on a basis of forecasting may not
exactly match. For example, there could be a scenario where demand is more than production
capacity; in this situation, a company needs to fulfill its requirement by buying from outside. If

demand is equal to production capacity; company is in a position to use its production capacity to
the fullest. If the demand is less than the production capacity, company can choose to reduce the
production or share it output with other manufacturers.

Future Perspectives:
Jindal Steel and Power (JSPL) is planning to invest Rs 23,000 crore in next three years to
increase its steel making capacity to 14 million tons. According to Deputy Managing

raise Rs 12,000 crore debt, while rest will be funded from internal accruals,"
Of this, about Rs 14,000 crore will be invested on JSPL's upcoming 6 million tonne (MT)
steel plant in Raigarh. The company has plans to commission the first phase of the plant,
having 1.8 MT capacities, in the first quarter of 2013, while rest of the units will get
operational by 2015. Currently, the Naveen Jindal-led steelmaker has 3 MT production
capacities at its Raigarh plant in Chhattisgarh. The company has set an ambitious growth
plan to have 20 MTPA steel making capacity by 2020 and has been on a buying spree in
recent times to secure raw material linkages for its upcoming plants. Recently, it put out a
bid for acquiring Gujarat NRE Coke's coking coal producing Australian subsidiary.
Besides, it has also raised its stake in Australian iron ore mining firm Apollo Minerals,
while it had acquired Canada's CIC Energy last year. Currently, the company has iron ore
and coal mines in Mozambique, Australia, Indonesia and Botswana among others.
