3. Use the Demand Forecast and the Unit Load calculation to decide how machines to buy The amount of capacity required at each work station is translated into the number of machines you have to buy as you complete the table below. If you use the upper confidence interval of demand, you are buying enough capacity to produce consistently at that demand level. If you use the point forecast of demand, you are buying enough capocity to produce at average level of demand A. "Total Hours Work Needed to Meet Demand" is the forecast number of jobs to be produced on a given day multipliied by the average hourjjob (ie., unit load) This is entered into the table below for each work station for each day. This is a forecast of the work to be done. 8. The column labelad "ci Machines (integer value)" is dooe in as interative manner. Fint, calculate the hours in the column titted "Total Hours Work Noded to Meet Demand" by 24 , fo find the mam Round the value you obetin up to the next integer. C. The column labeled "Total Houn Available" is calculated as 24ci, or ihe number of machines. This should be cqual to of larger than the "Total Mours Work Neoted to Meet Demand" D. The columi labeled "Safcty Capacity" is calculated by suberactiag the value in colamn "Total Hours Woek Nceded to Meet Demand" from "Toeal Hours Avalable" Safety capacity must ahways be lagger than . It canoot be negative. E. Review the abie below. If safety capacity =0 or is less thas 0 add another machine (ci). Or, accept that sonne jobs wilf not be cempleted on tine. ALL of this work is to make the decision about how many machines to have at Stations 1, 2 and 3.

Remember to check periodically (every 12 hours) whether your plan is working. Check revenue per job. Check lead time. Deviations of actual from plan indicate that there are problems somewhere.
