Determining the volume at capacity of a Lean line is one of the most difficult numbers to establish when designing a Lean operating system.
It is used to establish the capacity of the Lean manufacturing line and determines the number of resources required to operate your designed line. The volume of capacity must reflect the projected sales revenue for your company. Projected sales revenues and the volume at capacity must always be in synch with the capability of the Lean line.
This spreadsheet program allows multiple iterations to compare projected revenues with volume at capacity. The Volume at Capacity Planner is an excellent tool for the sales and marketing department to test if their plans can be supported by manufacturing resources.
