CAPACITY MODELING LoBue's approach to developing tailored made staffing and production models THE NEED   Productivity management becomes complex with differing throughputs and hand offs at each stage of a process. Managers can usually make sure that all the people or machines are working at all stages of the process, but may find themselves in a "hurry up and wait" scenario as work staggers through an assembly line process. Worse yet, is the permanent backlog that never gets "caught up". In either case, people are frustrated and are lacking the tools and techniques to correct the problem. THE SOLUTION   LoBue's Capacity Models give people information that will help them be more effective in their process such as: Arrival rates and volumes of work Ratio of people to technical tools needed to get the job done Effectively staffing against normal production conditions as well as peaks and valleys Planning and managing to include downtime, breaks, etc. The models can be developed for virtually any type of process from sales through to client services and of course all operating areas in between be they staff or line. It is designed to give managers the necessary information to effectively staff and manage all production resources needed in their day to day business activities. THE RESULTS   Capacity management enables clients to: Increase profitability by reducing operating costs Effectively staff using a variety of scheduling techniques tailored for each business Plan for different production scenarios     ~Typical Performance Results~ Key Performance Indicators Down / Wait Time Operating Costs Productivity Typical Range of Results 25 - 50% 20 - 40% 20 - 40%
