In the case of capacity planning, all processes for calculating and planning available resources in a company are considered. Equipment and machinery are considered, as well as internal and external personnel.
Brief description
The task of capacity planning is to use and divide the company's limited resources (personnel, work resources, resources, etc.) as optimally as possible so that orders from customers are carried out through production and closed processes as quickly as possible and at minimum cost.
The area of capacity use in planning deals with making sure that orders from customers are directed so that resources are loaded as completely as possible. In the capacity matching area, deadlines, orders as well as methods should be adapted so that all orders can be filled optimally.
