Production Line
Modeling the throughput of a production line. This may involve modeling the entire process with estimates for the throughput of each workstation, machine and operation to identify capacity limits.Processes
Analysis of the effective capacity of a business process. This may consider different levels of inputs such as labor. For example, modeling the calls per hour that can be handled by a call center for different staffing configurations.Facilities
Calculating the design capacity of a facility such as the number of computing units that can be fit into a data center based on a proposed architecture for the building.Infrastructure
Modeling the throughput of infrastructure. For example, simulator software that is used to calculate the capacity of a rail network to validate service schedules.Information Technology
The capacity of information technology may be modeled with performance testing. For a software platform, this may be based on the maximum concurrent users that can be supported while achieving service level objectives such as a response time target.Overview: Capacity Analysis | ||
