The document outlines concepts related to capacity planning, including:
1. It defines design capacity, effective capacity, and utilization, and provides an example to calculate these metrics for a bakery.
2. It discusses different approaches to managing capacity, such as leading or lagging demand, and making incremental vs. one-time capacity expansions.
3. It introduces break-even analysis as a technique to evaluate capacity alternatives by finding the point where total costs equal total revenue. Key variables in the analysis include fixed costs, variable costs, price, and production volume.
