Historically, Capacity Planning has delivered measurable value to the organization in the form of reduced costs, deferred acquisitions, and service level delivery, all of which deliver a Return on Investment (ROI) for the organization. However, fundamental changes in the underpinnings of the capacity planning ROI threaten the traditional value of capacity planning, and raise the question of whe...

the revenue management concept and techniques are applied to model the coordination of supply chain elements. the fundamental premise of this approach is synchronization of a group of business entities consist-ing of a manufacturer and multiple suppliers to achieve an optimal supply chain capacity plans. the output of the supply chain can be various products and thus it is measured in terms of ...

Installed capacities of distributed generation are projected to increase substantially in Great Britain and many other power systems. This paper will discuss the definition of capacity value of DG arising from its ability to support additional demand without the need for new network capacity, in analogy with the definition of Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) at transmission level. This...

Capacity credits, i.e., metrics that describe the contribution of different technologies in meeting load during peak periods, are widely used context long-term energy-system optimization models to ensure a pre-defined level firm capacity. In same vain, such capacity credits may be markets reflect availability an asset periods load. For storage it seems there is discrepancy between credit correc...

E$cient long-term capacity management is vital to any manufacturing "rm. It has implications on competitive performance in terms of cost, delivery speed, dependability and #exibility. In a manufacturing strategy, capacity is a structural decision category, dealing with dynamic capacity expansion and reduction relative to the long-term changes in demand levels. Sales and operations planning (S&O...

This study identifies the use of capacity planning methods and analyzes the characteristic modes of application among satisfied users. It is based on data collected from 84 Swedish manufacturing companies. Capacity planning using overall factors and capacity requirements planning are the most common planning methods in Swedish manufacturing industries. Capacity bills is the method with lowest a...

Because product demand is very volatile and machine and process technologies are advanced at a rapid pace, capacity planning, and investment in the semiconductor industry is a challenging task. Many studies have addressed midand shortterm machine portfolio planning tasks of capacity planning. However, capacity planning should be considered in a framework of strategy planning in order to address...

This paper will examine the current scope and focus of capacity planning and propose an innovative methodology to evaluate, predict and plan for the all-inclusive Digital Infrastructure. It is no longer sufficient to utilize yesterday’s outmoded approach when planning for tomorrow’s applications, systems and facilities infrastructures. We need to revolutionize the practice of capacity planning....

n overview of techniques available to address capacity planning in the production data processing environment is presented. The production data processing system is briefly described and its capacity is quantijied. The measurement tools, reports, and data required to implement a capacity planning program are discussed. Modeling and prediction are placed in perspective with the overall objective...
