Capacity Planning Models

[feelerfred]

Hey Folks
I'm interested in developing a capacity planning model for a cellular integrated flow line production environment. I have limited access to literature and was wondering if there were any resources available on line, or sample downloadable models that i could research. I'm not familliar with capacity planning and any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Dear Mike;

I think

http://www.apics.org

might be a good start, they have quite a lot of literature on shop floor planning and you should be able to find a book on exactly what you are looking for.
