Question

In a job shop, effective capacity is only 43 percent of design capacity, and actual output is 68 percent of effective output. What design capacity would be needed to achieve an actual output of 11 jobs per week? What is its effective capacity?
a. The Design Capacity needed to achieve the required actual job outputs = (round to whole number)
b. The Effective Capacity needed to achieve the required actual job outputs = (round to whole number) In a job shop, effective capacity is only 43 percent of design capacity, and actual output is 68 percent of effective output.

Explanation / Answer

Efficiency = Actual output/Effective capacity

Actual output = 0.68*Effective capacity

Effective capacity = 0.43*Design capacity

Actual output =   0.68*0.43*Design capacity

Actual output = 0.2924 *Design capacity

Given Actual output = 11 jobs

Design capacity = 11/0.2924 = 37.62 or 38

Effective capacity = 0.43*38 = 16.34 or 17
