Capacity Requirements Planning

 

Abe is typically scheduled to operate 4 machines at his workstation for 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. During every 8 hours of scheduled work, Abe takes 45 minutes of break.

Abe’s company is making some changes to the maintenance schedule. The changes will result in a new weekly capacity of 6000 minutes when Abe is scheduled for a 40-hour work week.
