Capacity Requirements Planning:

Capacity requirements planning (CRP) indicates throughput (capacity) of a facility (i.e., plant, warehouse, or office) and measures capacity in three time
horizons (i.e., short, intermediate, or long range). Capacity decisions require huge amounts of money, especially in the long range, as it is difficult to modify capacity in the short-range.

1. Short-range capacity decisions are concerned with scheduling jobs, employees, and equipment.

2. Intermediate-range capacity decisions are concerned with adding equipment, employees, and operating shifts.

3. Long-range capacity decisions are concerned with adding facilities and equipment that require a long lead-time.

Utilization and efficiency are two performance measures of a facility's capacity. Utilization is the percent of design capacity actually achieved, and efficiency refers to the percent of effective capacity actually achieved. Design capacity is the maximum theoretical output in a given period under ideal conditions. Effective capacity is expected capacity under the current operating conditions, which is lower
than design capacity. Rated capacity is a measure of expected output of a facility, which is expressed in terms of effective capacity and percent efficiency.

Hi,
I am from Bangalore.. Can I have any one-on-one session regarding the CABM certification.?

The way you have tie ups with top B-schools do you also have any tie up with corporate. What I mean to say does companies officially recognize CABM certification?

Taking into account that the fees for this certification is massive 900$ and pass percentage very low. Is the fees of 900$ hols good for India too? I read in one of your previous post that its 580$.

Can we take buy the prep material alone, again taking into account that the syllabus is extremely huge.

regards...Ross.
