Service Systems

Service systems present more uncertainty with respect to both capacity

and costs.
services are produced and consumed in the presence of the customer
services must be sufficiently flexible to accommodate a highly variable demand
many services involves professional or intellectual services judgments that are not easily standardized.
difficult to accumulate costs and measure the productivity of the services.

Capacity definition Capacity is the maximum output rate of a production

Capacity definition

Capacity is the maximum output rate of a production or

service facility
Capacity = (number of machines or workers)*(number of shifts)*(utilization)*(efficiency)
The basic questions in capacity handling are:
What kind of capacity is needed?
How much is needed?
When is it needed?
Слайд 6

Measures of capacity Capacity can be difficult to quantify due to

Measures of capacity

Capacity can be difficult to quantify due to …

Day-to-day uncertainties such as employee absences, equipment breakdowns, and material-delivery delays
– Products and services differ in production rates (so product mix is a factor)
– Different interpretations of maximum capacity

Various Capacities

Designed capacity of a facility is the planned or engineered

rate of output of goods or services under normal or full scale operating conditions. = maximum obtainable output
System/effective capacity is the maximum output of the specific product or product mix the system of workers and machines is capable of producing as an integrated whole. = expected variations
Actual output – rate of output actually achieved – cannot exceed effective capacity = unexpected variations and demand

Capacity Management Goal

The objective of capacity management (i.e. planning and control

of capacity) is to match the level of operations to the level of demand.

Capacity planning is the process used to determine how much

capacity is needed (and when) in order to manufacture greater product or begin production of a new product.

How Much Capacity Is Best?

The Best Operating Level is the output

than results in the lowest average unit cost
Economies of Scale:
– Where the cost per unit of output drops as volume of output increases
– Spread the fixed costs of buildings & equipment over multiple units, allow bulk purchasing & handling of material
Diseconomies of Scale:
– Where the cost per unit rises as volume increases
– Often caused by congestion (overwhelming the process with too much work-in-process) and scheduling complexity

Assumptions of Cost-Volume Analysis

One product is involved
Everything produced can be sold
Variable

cost per unit is the same regardless of volume
Fixed costs do not change with volume
Revenue per unit constant with volume
Revenue per unit exceeds variable cost per unit

Process of Capacity Planning

Capacity planning is concerned with defining the

long-term and the short-term capacity needs of an organisation and determining how those needs will be satisfied.
Capacity requirements can be evaluated from two perspectives—long-term capacity strategies and short-term capacity strategies.

Long-range Capacity Decisions Multiple products: Company’s produce more than one product

Long-range Capacity Decisions

Multiple products: Company’s produce more than one product

using the same facilities in order to increase the profit.
Phasing in capacity: In high technology industries, and in industries where technology developments are very fast, the rate of obsolescence is high. The products should be brought into the market quickly.
Phasing out capacity: The outdated manufacturing facilities cause excessive plant closures and down time.

is fixed.
Many short-term adjustments for increasing or decreasing capacity are possible
Capital-intensive processes depend on physical facilities, plant and equipment.
Short-term capacity can be modified by operating these facilities more or less intensively than normal

Types of Short-term Capacity Strategies Inventories: Stock finished goods during slack

Types of Short-term Capacity Strategies

Inventories: Stock finished goods during slack periods

to meet the demand during peak period.
Backlog: During peak periods, the willing customers are requested to wait and their orders are fulfilled after a peak demand period.
Employment level (hiring or firing): Hire additional employees during peak demand period and layoff employees as demand decreases.
Employee training: Develop multi skilled employees through training so that they can be rotated among different jobs. The multi skilling helps as an alternative to hiring employees.
Subcontracting: During peak periods, hire the capacity of other firms temporarily to make the component parts or products.
Process design: Change job contents by redesigning the job.
