Description

ESSENTIALS OF CAPACITY MANAGEMENTFull of valuable tips, techniques, illustrative real-world examples, exhibits, and best practices, this handy and concise paperback will help you stay up to date on the newest thinking, strategies, developments, and technologies in capacity management."Proper capacity management is the driving force behind outstanding corporate performance. Essentials of Capacity Management clearly describes its impact on operations, as well as how to use measurement systems and process analysis to enhance capacity usage. This is a solid foundation in capacity management for the business professional!" ―Steve Bragg, Author"Although capacity management is a fundamental concern, it-like many other fundamentals-is often scanted. In fact, there's little that's more important to most companies than their ability to manage their capacity, which is simply the ability to do work. Essentials of Capacity Management does a great job of giving a quick, yet thorough, overview of the many considerations involved." ―Barry J. Brinker, Editor, Guide to Cost Management (John Wiley & Sons)"This book does an excellent job of relating processes to capacity. Managers and executives will better understand that managing the effectiveness and efficiency of processes reduces the amount of capacity required, thus providing an opportunity to reduce costs while improving process quality and reducing process time. It shows the relationship of capacity to demand on downstream processes. It shows that process flexibility reduces required capacity." ―John Antos, President, Value Creation Group, Inc.The Wiley Essentials Series-because the business world is always changing...and so should you.

Chapter 6 of this book is a disaster. It is supposed to be the most important chapter. It was. The author begins by saying that bottom line results are the only ones that matter....that intra divisional revenues and costs do not impact the bottom line. How then would he measure divisional performance? The utilization of resources within a firm drives the net demand. The quality of the product or service is a key driver of its revenues. To make such a statement is akin to viewing a country and declaring that transactions within that country have no effect on imports or exports. He continues by expressing the view that serving another department more effectively does not increase income. He declares that the profitability of the company is not impacted. It is not DIRECTLY impacted but it is impacted. He trumpets that increased productivity does not reduce costs. Quite right, no one ever said it does. But it reduces cost per unit. It is idiotic statements like this that destroys this authors hope of being taken seriously. What adds insult to injury is his propensity to reiterate tautologies. Quelle domage!I have not commented on statements like "capacity constrains the organization's ability to meet demand" where the author ignores the role of "out sourcing" and sub contracting. Nothing in response to the author's declaration that cash flow is impacted by an entity's ability to cut costs and increase revenues...which is not an unqualified truth. Silence on his ignoring the sustainability (or lack thereof) of demand when he linked it to capacity.The book represents a foray by an author outside his field of competence and he would have gotten away with it except for chapter 6 and a couple other things.
