Whois & Analysis for easemyproduction.com

Capacity utilization or capacity utilisation is the extent to which an enterprise or a nation uses its installed productive capacity.

It is the relationship between output that is produced with the installed equipment, and the potential output which could be produced with it, if capacity was fully used.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is the integrated management of core business processes, often in real-time and mediated by software and technology.

Material requirements planning (MRP) is a production planning, scheduling, and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes.

Most MRP systems are software-based, but it is possible to conduct MRP by hand as well.

Productivity describes various measures of the efficiency of production.

A productivity measure is expressed as the ratio of output to inputs used in a production process, i.e. output per unit of input.

Productivity is a crucial factor in production performance of firms and nations.

Increasing national productivity can raise living standards because more real income improves people's ability to purchase goods and services, enjoy leisure, improve housing and education and contribute to social and environmental programs.

Productivity growth also helps businesses to be more profitable.

There are many different definitions of productivity and the choice among them depends on the purpose of the productivity measurement and/or data availability.

In production and project management, a bottleneck is one process in a chain of processes, such that its limited capacity reduces the capacity of the whole chain.

The result of having a bottleneck are stalls in production, supply overstock, pressure from customers and low employee morale.

There are both short and long-term bottlenecks.

Short-term bottlenecks are temporary and are not normally a significant problem.

An example of a short-term bottleneck would be a skilled employee taking a few days off.

Long-term bottlenecks occur all the time and can cumulatively significantly slow down production.

An example of a long-term bottleneck is when a machine is not efficient enough and as a result has a long queue.
