    Pc = 8294.4 units per week

    Explanation:

    Pc = U * A * (N * sw * Hsh * Rp) / n

    Where

    Pc = production capacity in terms of availability and utilization per week

    U = utilization factor = 80% = 0.8

    A = availability = 90% = 0.9

    N = number of work centers = 8

    sw = number of shifts per week = 10

    Hsh = number of hrs per shift = 8

    Rp = hourly production rate = 18 units / hr

    n = number of distinct operations = 1, same machine & part

    So therefore,

    Pc = 0.8 * 0.9 (8 * 10 * 8 * 18) / 1

    Pc = 8294.4 units per week
