Kapacitásgörbék

Kapacitásgörbék, in English capacity curves, are graphical representations used in various engineering and economic contexts to illustrate the relationship between the capacity of a system or resource and a given factor, often time or cost. They help in understanding the limitations and potential of a system. In industrial engineering, capacity curves might show the maximum output of a production line over time, highlighting potential bottlenecks or periods of peak efficiency. These curves can be crucial for production planning, resource allocation, and forecasting.

In economics, capacity curves can illustrate the concept of economies of scale, demonstrating how average costs decrease as production capacity increases up to a certain point. They can also be used to model the production possibilities frontier, showing the maximum combinations of two goods that can be produced with available resources and technology. In telecommunications, a capacity curve might depict the maximum data rate achievable over a communication channel as a function of signal-to-noise ratio. Understanding these curves allows for better system design, optimization, and performance analysis. They provide a visual tool to assess trade-offs and make informed decisions regarding resource utilization and expansion.
