Question 01:

Using the given data, capacity bill would be,

Work Center Product C (Total Time/Unit) Product D (Total Time/Unit)
100 0.8 1.2
200 0.4 2.5
300 2.1 3.1
Total 3.3 6.8

From above table, some calculations are pretty straight forward i.e. For C & D in case of WC
100. While some of them need some explanation. Product C is made up of P and Q. WC 200
only involves product P = 0.4 Hours, therefore we will use this value only. While in case of
Product D, the calculation would be;
Product D (WC 200) No. of Parts Total Hours
P 2 2 x 0.4 = 0.8
R 1 0.5
S 2 0.6 x 2 = 1.2
Total 2.5

In case of WC 300, product C has only 3 parts of Q. So, we will use Q = 0.7 x 3 = 2.1.

Product D (WC 300) No. of Parts Total Hours
P 0 0
R 1 1.3
S 2 0.9 x 2 = 1.2
Total 3.1

From the given master schedule data
Week 1 2 3
Product C 50 40 45
Product D 15 20 18

Capacity needed per work center would be,
Week 1 2 3
WC 100 58 56 57.6
WC 200 57.5 66 63
WC 300 151.5 146 150.3
Question 07: Part a)
Here,
Work Center
Product P
(Total
Time/Unit)
Product Q
(Total
Time/Unit)
10 0.31 0.09
15 0.55 0.82
20 1.23 0.47

According to description;
Week 1 2
Product P 90 78
Product Q 75 103

So, capacity requirement for each work center would be,
Week 1 2
WC 10 34.65 33.45
WC 15 111 127.36
WC 20 145.95 144.35

B) By using infinite capacity planning techniques, they should ignore the resource (work
center) constraints and start to plan productions using lead time of the production flow in
order to back schedule the work to work centers due to which the work centers which
require additional capacity would stand out.














Question 05:
Capacity bill for the given data would be,
Work Center
Product P
(Total
Time/Unit)
Product Q
(Total
Time/Unit)
10 0.43 0.57
20 0.56 1.21
30 0.33 0.93

Whereas the calculation involved are,
For WC 10: As only P and Q are only present here, so,
P = 0.43 Hours
Q = 0.57 Hours

Similarly, for other work centers,
WC 20
