Share Production capacity is always finite — there’s a limit to the number of units that can be put out each shift, day or week — and manufacturers want to avoid promising unachievable delivery dates. At the same time, they need to ensure every resource is utilized as fully as possible because not doing so incurs waste and excess costs. These are two challenges, both of which can be addressed by a single tool: manufacturing capacity analysis.
