Global market growth forces automotive OEMs to invest significantly in capacity adjustments to their worldwide production networks.
Building on this, we demonstrate that for example small capacity adjustments targeted at handling high load periods can improve the percentage tardy and other delivery-related performance measures to a much greater extent than the best existing policies.
Here we study a strategic capacitated facility location problem with integrated bi-directional product flows through a network of multiple supply stages, including production allocations, uncertain data development, facility locations and flexible capacity adjustments.
In this paper, results obtained using discrete-event simulations are used to assess the control-theoretic approach, providing evidence that fidelity varies depending upon factors such as WIP level and the magnitude of capacity adjustments.
Motivated by real-world planning problems of a major OEM, we develop a mixed-integer model that simultaneously considers strategic capacity adjustments and duties and drawbacks for multi-stage, multi-product production processes.
Furthermore, there are cash flows resulting from capacity adjustments according to the selected capacity profile.

Capacity adjustment of Gas Engine-Driven Heat Pump (GEHP) can be achieved by controlling engine rotary speed.
Using regime-switching parameters, the effects of capacity margin and inter-day capacity adjustment are elucidated, suggesting rent-seeking behaviour, despite the relatively low prices at the time.
This paper investigates the merits of the SR VTCA (stable routing virtual topology capacity adjustment) approach as a mechanism to find a beneficial trade-off between network stability and reduction in capital expenditures (CapEx).
Simulation research was carried out with the conduction of the expert controller and the results indicated that the rotary speed fluctuations caused by instant load can be reduced effectively, the rotary speed operation was smooth and had no overshoots with an acceptable response during the capacity adjustment process, thus it holds a good performance with respect to disturbances theoretically.
For capacity adjustment, one of three capacity profiles (capacity extension, capacity stagnation, capacity downsizing) needs to be assigned to each location.
