- Explain how the capacity analysis responds to a large number of processes operating simultaneously.arrow_forwardExplanation of how the capacity analysis reacts to several processes running in simultaneously.arrow_forwardHow does capacity analysis behave when a large number of processes are operating concurrently?arrow_forward
- What is the fundamental distinction between design capacity and effective capacity? Provide a brief example/explanation.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_forwardDesign capacity and effective capacity, describe the difference with examplesarrow_forward
- What are some capacity balance problems faced by the following organizations or facilities? a An airline terminal b. A university computing lab c. A cloning manufacturerarrow_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 adesign capacity of 10 loans per day and an effective capacity of 8 loans per dayarrow_forwardHow does capacity planning contribute to system management, and what methodologies can be used for capacity planning?arrow_forward
- Determine 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?
