| Abstract | Production planning and capacity planning are traditionally considered to be individual planning sub-functions for executing production plans within capacity. When capacity differences (between required capacity and available capacity) are minimised through an efficient algorithm, and integration of capacity planning with any production planning system (e.g. MRPII) is performed, it affects some elements of production planning functions. In the reverse way, some elements of production planning and management techniques also affect the effectiveness of capacity planning. This study will investigate the impacts on capacity planning of three production elements, which are input-batch policy, facility configuration and scrap. Simulation tool is used for this purpose. |
