Hi All

I have been a silent member for more than a year now. This is my first post.

Is there an official document used to prepare and/or calculate manufacturing or production capacities, specifically for automative suppliers?

Examples will be appreciated

hello , hello , Junglek. welcome again.
well you can check out AIAG manuals , SPC or MSA those are specific automotive manuals that use all automotive suppliers to meet automotive requirements.
www.aiag.org also can go take a look trough this site .SPC Monitoring and Statistical Analysis Techniques forum, I hope this information helps you.

I can't think of any specific document, if one even exists.

You may want to try an advanced search on google to see if anything pops up.

A key bit of information that is necessary is an accurate build time of the product/s. There are other pieces of info that are needed if you want to determine your work cell/assembly line manning, takt time, etc.

You may want to try the APICS or SME websites to see if you can find something. At the very least you should try the APICS bookstore.

Determining one's manufacturing capacity really shouldn't be affected by the industry as the principles would remain the same.

Welcome,
There is the run@rate methodolgy for checking if you are capable of achieving what you quoted in terms of capacity.
Is this what you mean or are you talking more at the quotation stage?

Thank you all for the response.

Yes, Howard I'm actually looking for something that I could use to enter the run@rate results (downtime, brakedowns, output, scrap and etc) and it should provide me with the actual cycle time per part and capacity analysis versus the ones used at the quotation stage.

:thanx: thanks for all replay, I think, regarding the production capacity study, it isnot a main aspect in QM, and the run@rate is a good tool to evaluate it, but as I know, there are many types of run@rate forms according to the different company, and they have a dominant similarity
