Production Capacity

Volume or number of units that can be pro

duced during a given period.
Output expectations from the production o
f a plant.

 Effective Capacity maximum output rat

e that can be used under normal condition
s.
Design Capacity maximum output rate t
hat can be achieved by a facility under ide
al conditions.

Plant Capacity
Coverage of this study includes:
1) Data and alternatives
Describe data for the determination of plant c
apacity
List possible alternatives on plant capacity

Plant Capacity
2.) Determination of Feasible Normal Plant
Capacity
Select and describe in detail the Feasible No
rmal Capacity
State reasons for selection
Describe Nominal Maximum Capacity

Plant Capacity
Selection of Feasible Normal Plant Capacity
should be based on
Parameters of production program
Parameters of minimum economic equipment size

Plant Capacity should be determined as Feas

ible Normal Capacity for:
Entire plant
