<b>Abstract:<p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br /> <br /> PT \"X\" markets its product to the buyers which are located in Arab Saudi and Dubai (UEA). The total demand, from 1991 until 1997, increased and if the demand is projected to next 6 six years then the total demand will be increased by 138.500 dozens (55 containers)/year, with the projected demand in 1998 is about 797.818 units (1.140 containers). The increasing total demand of the buyers was also followed by the increasing demand for the company. At 1998 - 2003, PT \"X\" targets the market share about 30 %. So that in those years, the demand for PT \"X\" will raise to be 343 - 425 containers / year.<p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br /> <br /> The actual capacity at 1997 is about 86 containers, but the demand at 1998 is about 343 containers, so there is a gap between demand and capacity. This gap is estimated about 257 containers. To minimize that gap, the company must increase the actual capacity. The first alternative of the increasing capacity is the raising efficiency and adding one work shift. So the actual capacity for one product line will be increased to be 21 container /year and the total capacity of 9 production lines is about 189 containers. Next alternative is the adding 8 product lines (using the empty room). All of the alternatives will result the increasing capacity about 291 containers, where the actual capacity will be 357 containers / year.<p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br /> <br /> At 2001, the demand that will be received by PT \"X\" will about 393 containers, so the actual capacity must be increased again. The other alternatives is to build a new factory in which could be placed 9 production lines.<p align=\"justify\"> <br /> <br /> <br /> In this increased capacity planning, to add the product line will be done incrementally. The aim is to avoid the over capacity that causing high production cost.
