"Proper capacity management is the driving force behind outstanding corporate performance. Essentials of Capacity Management clearly describes its impact on operations, as well as how to use measurement systems and process analysis to enhance capacity usage. This is a solid foundation in capacity management for the business professional!" —Steve Bragg, Author "Although capacity management is a fundamental concern, it-like many other fundamentals-is often scanted. In fact, there's little that's more important to most companies than their ability to manage their capacity, which is simply the ability to do work. Essentials of Capacity Management does a great job of giving a quick, yet thorough, overview of the many considerations involved." —Barry J. Brinker, Editor, Guide to Cost Management (John Wiley & Sons) "This book does an excellent job of relating processes to capacity. Managers and executives will better understand that managing the effectiveness and efficiency of processes reduces the amount of capacity required, thus providing an opportunity to reduce costs while improving process quality and reducing process time. It shows the relationship of capacity to demand on downstream processes. It shows that process flexibility reduces required capacity." —John Antos, President, Value Creation Group, Inc.

Download or read book Capacity Measurement Improvement written by Thomas P. Klammer and published by Irwin Professional Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capacity is one of the most important and least understood concepts in business and manufacturing today. While some financial managers might judge plant capacity in mechanical terms, such as the equipment installed in the plant, operational supervisors might instead judge capacity in human terms or worker efficiency. This leads to several questions: Under what guidelines should you measure capacity? Can unused capacity become a commodity to be bought or sold? How much reserve capacity buffer does a company need? As these questions indicate, capacity and its measurement is a complex topic, multi-faceted yet critical to the efficient, profitable operation of any manufacturing facility. This innovative tool for measuring the effectiveness of capacity use allows operations and management employees to approach capacity from the same perspectives and presents a framework to utilize common measurements in the management of capacity. As budgets and time become increasingly tight, accurate capacity measurement and effective capacity usage become increasingly important. Capacity Measurement & Improvement teaches you to identify appropriate capacity measurements, improve top-to-bottom communication of your company's capacity and make the most of your company's capacity utilization.

Download or read book Capacity Management Best Practice Handbook written by Gerard Blokdijk and published by Emereo Pty Limited. This book was released on 2008-10 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capacity Management is a process used to manage information technology (IT). Its primary goal is to ensure that IT capacity meets current and future business requirements in a cost-effective manner. One common interpretation of Capacity Management is described in the ITIL framework. This book covers every detail, including some missed in other books. This thorough book provides a clear roadmap to designing, implementing and operating Capacity Management. The author leaves no key process out and completely covers everything from initial concept to measuring support effectiveness and process improvement. The book starts with an initial strategy that is focused on planning Capacity Management services that are completely aligned to requirements and are based on a mission statement. This business-oriented approach is refreshing and will keep IT grounded in the real reasons for Capacity Management. More importantly is the process for careful selection of services to provide. An overly ambitious set of service goals will kill a Capacity Management implementation early in its life by offering too much before there is a stable Capacity Management process in place. This book is realistic and lays the foundation for a successful implementation. The section on the actual design of the Capacity Management structure provides insights and information that can be applied to a large number of solutions. Since Capacity Management will be organized in accordance with requirements and unique mission statements, this section of the book is like a catalog of patterns. It has excellent tips on how to best structure Capacity Management to meet requirements and mission. The information onaccurately estimating staffing requirements is consistent with industry best practices and something that, believe it or not, is often overlooked when Capacity Management is established. This book gets into the meat by thoroughly covering the processes that are essential to running Capacity Management. There are many topics that stand out as both unique [to books of this genre] and reflect best practices by the best-run Capacity Management initiatives. Examples are change control, disaster recovery and vendor management. These topics show that the author not only considers business alignment, but also cross-functional alignment within IT. Professional resources and underlying technology are provided in detail. This book contains an in-depth coverage of operational requirements for Capacity Management once it has been implemented. It hits all of the critical success factors, such as performance metrics, service level agreements, communications and internal evaluations. It even has a chapter on marketing, which is something that is important but not often done by most Capacity Management initiatives. This proactive approach to keeping users (your customers) informed of new services, accomplishments and tips is excellent and will go a long way towards attaining high customer satisfaction scores - not to mention proving the value of Capacity Management to IT and business management. You will find this book to be one of the best for planning and implementing world-class Capacity Management.
