Abstract
Production Planning and Control (PPC) is concerned with planning and controlling
all aspects of manufacturing, including managing materials, scheduling machines
and people, and coordinating suppliers and key customers. Providing the capability
to satisfy current and future demand is a fundamental responsibility of operations
management. The important characteristic of PPC is concerned with to determine
capacity levels over short and medium terms in aggregated terms. This research
focuses on developing a Machine Capacity Model for single unit machine capacity
measure. The model development consists of three main development phases
constructed using analytical mathematical equation derived from operational
parameters and translated into a common computer programming presented as
spreadsheet template. The First Phase involves in identifying and categorizing the
independent variables. The Second Phase develops the model variables by adopting
the independent variables. The Third Phase presents on the development of final
decision model variables. The model built in self-check function being verified to
assure true and logic input value. Validation scenarios are designed to test model is
flexible, credible and logic to aid in study factors affecting Effective Capacity (EC)
of any unit process. EC able to apply in detecting capacity constraint and can be
adapted to check on and generate machine procurement planning. The model
development does not require any extra cost to purchase any expensive software or facility. Computational approaches of the model have the requisite flexibility to
yield solutions under different circumstances. Therefore these advantages increase
the industrial acceptance and practical level.
