  7. Capacity Management Capacity is the potential or capability, of a set of resources to do work of some type to create value for the customer. Importance of capacity management (control) of organizations Huge initial outlays Sunk costs Inflexible Long-run costs Mostly Fixed Costs Goal of capacity management is to manage fixed costs (plant assets) in a manner that spreads costs over the largest possible volume A very difficult area of management because it involves long-range planning

  8. Strategic Control of Capacity • Must have right amount of capacity to produce to customer demands *If there is excess capacity fixed costs must be spread over fewer units thereby making the units cost more *If there is insufficient capacity the company must incur additional costs to generate more capacity

  9. Company A Company B A Capacity Management Example Company A and Company B each manufacture one product that is very similar in nature. Company A recently invested in modern machinery (new technology) that reduces its manufacturing labor cost. Company B continues to be labor intensive using its older machinery. Accordingly, Company A has much more fixed factory overhead annually than Company B ($ 1,500,000 compared to $ 600,000). The respective selling price and variable costs per unit are as follows: Selling Price $20.00 $20.00 Direct Mat. $2.00 $2.00 Direct Labor $1.00 $6.00 Var. Overhead $1.00 $1.00 Required: Compute the gross margins on the product of each company. Assume an annual volume of production and sales of 100,000 units; then 200,000 units.

  10. Solution: Fixed Cost/Unit 15.00 6.00 (100,000 Units) Company A Company B Cost: Variable Costs/Unit $4.00 $9.00 Total Cost/Unit $19.00 $15.00 Selling Price $20.00 $20.00 Total Gross Margin $100,000 $500,000 (200,000 Units) The only Change is Fixed costs per unit $7.50 $3.00 Total Gross Margin $1,700,000 $1,600,000
