Capacity Planning and Scheduling

Capacity planning and scheduling involve determining how much work an organization can handle and effectively organizing that work over time. Capacity planning looks at resources like staff, equipment, and space to ensure they can meet demand without overloading. Scheduling, on the other hand, arranges tasks and resources in a timeline to maximize efficiency and meet deadlines. Together, they ensure that a business operates smoothly, resources are used efficiently, and customer needs are met without delays or resource shortages. This process is crucial in manufacturing, service industries, and project management.
