What is Capacity Planning?

Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed to meet anticipated customer demand. It involves analyzing business resources, such as facilities, finances, and employees, to identify potential bottlenecks and assess their utilization. By understanding the current and future demand, businesses can make informed decisions about their production capabilities.

Effective capacity planning helps organizations avoid underutilization or overutilization of resources. It allows for efficient allocation of resources, minimizes costs, and ensures timely delivery of products or services. Additionally, it helps businesses prepare for fluctuations in demand, such as seasonal variations or unexpected surges. By proactively planning for future capacity needs, organizations can maintain a competitive edge and sustain long-term growth.
