System capacity

System capacity refers to the maximum amount of work or output a system can handle effectively within a given period. It encompasses resources like personnel, equipment, or technology, and determines how much can be produced, processed, or serviced without overloading. Understanding capacity helps organizations plan and ensure they can meet demand without delays or quality issues. When demand exceeds capacity, system performance can decline, leading to bottlenecks or queues. Efficient capacity management balances resources with needs, optimizing performance and ensuring reliable service or production levels.
