Capacity can be physical, such as additional machines or space, or functional, such as higher throughput achieved through process changes or staffing.
Driving factors include growth in demand, aging or constrained existing assets, regulatory requirements, and the need
Planning requires demand forecasting, technical feasibility studies, financial appraisal, and regulatory approvals. Key steps include project
Common metrics include capacity utilization rate, throughput, cycle time, and lead time. The goal is to balance
