Process Selection
• How an organization chooses to produce its goods or provide its services
• Key aspects– make or buy decisions– capital intensity– process flexibility

Process Selection and Capacity Planning
• Make or Buy?– Available capacity– Expertise– Quality considerations– The nature of demand– Cost
CHAPTER FIVEPROCESS SELECTION AND CAPACITY PLANNING

Type of Operation
• Continuous Processing
• Repetitive/Assembly– Semicontinuous
• Intermittent/Batch Processing
• Job Shops– Small runs
• Projects– Nonroutine jobs

Automation (1 of 2)
• Processes that have sensing and control devices that enable it to operate automatically
• Three kinds– fixed– programmable
• computer-aided design and manufacturing systems (CAD/CAM)
• numerically controlled (NC) machines• robot

– flexible• manufacturing cells
• flexible manufacturing systems (FMS)
• computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM)
CHAPTER FIVEPROCESS SELECTION AND CAPACITY PLANNING
MTSU Management 362 5-10
Capacity Planning
• Capacity is the upper limit or ceiling on the load that an operating unit can handle
• The basic questions in capacity handling are– What kind of capacity is needed?– How much is needed?– When is it needed?
CHAPTER FIVEPROCESS SELECTION AND CAPACITY PLANNING
MTSU Management 362 5-11
Importance of Capacity Decisions
• Impact the ability of the firm to meet future demands for products and services
• Affect operating costs
• Usually a major determinant of initial cost
• Involves long-term commitment of resources and difficult to modify
• Affect competitiveness
CHAPTER FIVEPROCESS SELECTION AND CAPACITY PLANNING
MTSU Management 362 5-12
Types of Capacity
• Design capacity– maximum obtainable output
• Effective capacity– Maximum capacity given product mix,
scheduling difficulties, and other doses of reality.
• Actual output– rate of output actually achieved--cannot
exceed effective capacity.

Design capacity = 50 trucks/day
Effective capacity = 40 trucks/day
Actual output = 36 units/day
Actual output = 36 units/day Efficiency = = 90%
Effective capacity 40 units/ day
Utilization = Actual output = 36 units/day = 72%

Determinants of Effective Capacity
• Facilities
• Products or services
• Processes
• Human considerations
• Operations
• External forces

Developing Capacity Alternatives
• Design flexibility into systems
• Take a “big picture” approach to capacity changes
• Prepare to deal with capacity “chunks”
• Attempt to smooth out capacity requirements
• Identify the optimal operating level

Evaluating Alternatives
• Calculating processing requirements
• Cost-Volume analysis
• Financial analysis
• Decision theory
• Waiting line analysis

Calculating Processing Requirements - Example 2
• One eight shift/day 250 days a year
= 8 hr/day x 250 days/yr
= 2000 hr/machine/yr

Break-Even Analysis (1 of 2)
• Objective is to find the point, in dollars and units, at which costs equal revenues
• Costs– Fixed - continue even if no units are produced– Variable - vary with the volume of units produced
• labor
• material
CHAPTER FIVEPROCESS SELECTION AND CAPACITY PLANNING
MTSU Management 362 5-24
Break-Even (2 of 2)
• Revenue function - begins at the origin and increases by the selling price of each unit
• Crossover charts (see page 224)– uses cost-volume relationships to identify
which alternative has the lowest total cost for a particular volume range

Example - 3
• Equipment lease = FC = $6,000.00• Cost per pie = VC = $2.00• Revenue per pie = Rev = $7.00
– How many pies must be sold in order to break even?

Example - 3
• Equipment lease = FC = $6,000.00• Cost per pie = VC = $2.00• Revenue per pie = Rev = $7.00
– What would be the profit (loss) be if 1,000 pies are made and sold in a month?

Example - 3
• Equipment lease = FC = $6,000.00• Cost per pie = VC = $2.00• Revenue per pie = Rev = $7.00

Finding Crossover VolumesAt a crossover volume, X, the total cost of
one alternative equals the total cost of another alternative. Thus
TC1 = TC2
FC1+VC1(X) = FC2+VC2(X)
VC1(X) = FC2+VC2(X)-FC1
VC1(X)-VC2(X) = FC2-FC1
(VC1-VC2)(X) = FC2-FC1
X = (FC2-FC1)/(VC1-VC2)

Finding Crossover VolumeA company must choose between two
processes. The fixed and variable costs for each alternative are
FC1 = $170,000 FC2 = $190,000
VC1 =$9 VC2 =$4Over what volume ranges would you
prefer each alternative?

Other Evaluation Approaches• Financial analysis
– Cash Flow - the difference between cash received from sales and other sources, and cash outflow for labor, material, overhead, and taxes
– Present Value - the sum, in current value, of all future cash flows of an investment proposal
• Decision theory• Waiting line analysis
