What is Capacity Management?
At a very basic level, capacity management is concerned with the proper balancing of resources against demand. This means a business has the ‘right’ quantity of resources to satisfy customer needs at maximum efficiency and least cost. Think of hitting that sweet spot between hammering your resources with work and having idle capacity.
Capacity management is not entirely a technical process; it’s strategic. It requires foresight, planning, and a deep understanding of the market and operational dynamics. This is why it’s often a central focus in advanced business courses and executive programs, like the Executive Programme in Operations Management and Analytics offered by CEP, IIT Delhi.
