Capacity Constraints

Capacity constraints refer to the limits on how much a system, organization, or facility can handle at one time. This could mean a factory can produce only a certain number of items daily, a server can host a specific amount of data or users, or a transportation network can move a certain volume of goods or passengers. When demand exceeds these limits, it leads to delays, reduced service quality, or the need for additional resources. Managing capacity constraints involves balancing supply and demand to ensure operations run smoothly without overloading the system.
