Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products. [1] In the context of capacity planning, design capacity is the maximum amount of work that an organization or individual is capable of completing in a given period.
A critical factor in production planning is "the accurate estimation of the productive capacity of available resources, yet this is one of the most difficult tasks to perform well". [7] Production planning should always take "into account material availability, resource availability and knowledge of future demand". [5]
Computer-aided process planning initially evolved as a means to electronically store a process plan once it was created, retrieve it, modify it for a new part and print the plan. Other capabilities were table-driven cost and standard estimating systems, for sales representatives to create customer quotations and estimate delivery time.
Material requirements planning (MRP) is a production planning, scheduling, and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes. Most MRP systems are software -based, but it is possible to conduct MRP by hand as well.
Capacity planning of storage, computer hardware, software and connection infrastructure resources required over some future period of time. [2] Capacity management interacts with the discipline of Performance Engineering, both during the requirements and design activities of building a system, and when using performance monitoring.

It’s simple: onions, cheese, butter, and fresh herbs and spices. The end result is a cheesy blend of sweet, tender onions and browned bits of smoke Gouda and mild Cheddar.
Traditional production planning and scheduling systems (such as manufacturing resource planning) use a stepwise procedure to allocate material and production capacity.This approach is simple but cumbersome, and does not readily adapt to changes in demand, resource capacity or material availability.
