(60 marks) Compare and contrast two different capacity plans and discuss their advantages and disadvantages, providing your justifications by using examples as appropriate and linking to performance objectives. (b) Rough Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) is a simple calculation approach to determine whether sufficient critical resources (people, equipment etc) are available to meet a predicted level of demand. (1) Table 1 outlines demand in units for a Shirt and Vest. Note here the demand is expressed as units required per month. Table 2 outlines the Bill of Resources and identifies the time needed for items at particular resources. Calculate the total required hours and complete Table 3. Table 1: Demand Month 1 2 3 4 5 20 Vest 20 Shirt 15 10 10 15 10 10 20 20 Table 2: Bill of Resources Shirt Vest Process (Hours) (Hours) Assembly 20 30 5 Totals 300 600 Table 3: Total requirements (Hours) Month 1 2 3 4 Shirt 300 200 200 Vest 300 Total 600 500 Available 800 800 600 600 (Given) Over/ 200 100 under(-) 800 3600 NB For this question we will assume a craft-based approach: that is, each shirt and each vest is created by one artisan. Thus, use totals. (15 marks) (1) Discuss the results in Table 3 and outline options to balance capacity and demand. (25 marks)
