Operation-Level Capacity Planning

Operation-Level Capacity Planning involves determining the necessary resources—such as equipment, labor, and facilities—to meet production demands at a specific operational level. It focuses on short-term adjustments to ensure that a business can efficiently produce goods or services without delays or excess costs. This planning assesses current capabilities, forecasts future needs, and identifies any gaps, allowing organizations to optimize their resources, meet customer demands promptly, and maintain productivity. Essentially, it helps businesses balance supply and demand effectively.
