Methods and tools for dynamic capacity planning and control

Métodos e ferramentas para planejamento e controle dinâmicos de capacidade

This article discusses material flow management. More specifically, it presents methods and tools used for capacity dynamic planning and control. Such resourses are focused on the reduction or elimination of static and dynamic bottlenecks. Practical applications are made using the FAST/pro, a software which associates the concepts presented through a demand-orientated, capacity dynamic regulation.
