Learning objective

Identify a bottleneck in one planning horizon and verify load before and after adjustment.

Roles

Planning, production, maintenance, costing, HR and IT

Prerequisites

  • Trusted work-centre and routing times.
  • Maintained production and downtime calendars.

Completion checks

  • Overload traces to specific order operations.
  • Adjusted load and dates meet approved targets.

Common errors

  • Treating nominal hours as available capacity.
  • Changing efficiency to hide problems.

Thailand project note

For Thailand, confirm Thai/English masters, THB and foreign currencies, Asia/Bangkok time, segregation of duties and local record retention. VAT, WHT, customs, BOI, statutory accounting, product compliance and occupational-safety settings require current review by qualified Thai professionals; this is not legal or tax advice.

Steps

01Govern work centres, shifts, calendars, available hours, efficiency and downtime.
02Confirm routing, standard time, lot size and planned-order cut-off.
03Calculate required load and available capacity by day or week; retain parameters.
04Review overloaded and underloaded centres and trace them to orders and operations.
05Evaluate overtime, changeover, alternate resource, subcontracting or date changes.
06Obtain production, planning, maintenance and costing approval, then recalculate.
07Compare actual hours and output with plan; correct data instead of hiding variance.
