Capacity utilization is the amount of manufacturing capacity a company uses, expressed as a percentage of potential production. It can be an economic indicator and excess capacity is the difference between what a company can produce and what it actually produces. Capacity utilization is the amount of manufacturing capacity that a company is using at […]
Capacity costs are fixed costs associated with running a business, such as rent or IT services. While they can be reduced, they cannot be eliminated without negative consequences. Utilities may or may not be considered capacity costs. Capacity cost is a type of fixed cost that is associated with the continued operation of a business. […]
Strategic capacity planning balances resources to achieve the best results and output while minimizing waste and costs. It involves understanding customer demand and market conditions to set manufacturing goals and identify cost-effective means of achieving them. A comprehensive approach includes raw material selection, manufacturing, administrative expenses, and shipping costs. Strategic capacity planning is a process […]
Capacitance is the ability to hold an electric charge, commonly found in electromagnetic fields. Capacitors are the main component that harnesses electric charge. Parasitic capacitance occurs when two capacitors are placed close together. Capacitance is measured in farads and was first conceived by James Clerk Maxwell in 1861. The ability to hold an electric charge […]
Capacity factor is a ratio of a generator’s actual power to its full-power output, used to measure generator reliability. It is often converted to a percentage and varies by generating system type. The ratio is determined by the maximum power output and effective power in a given period. It is used to determine overall reliability […]
Sperm capacity is the process that allows sperm to penetrate and fertilize an egg, involving chemical maturation. It occurs at intervals, allowing for a constant supply of mature sperm. Other factors, such as pH balance and fluid consistency, also play a role. Abnormalities can lead to decreased fertility. The term “sperm capacity” refers to the […]
Capacity analysis assesses a facility’s production capabilities, determining maximum yield and potential for growth. Third-party services or internal analysts can perform this review, which includes analyzing costs and benefits of increasing production. Financial and engineering analysts may be involved, and computer modeling can aid in accuracy. Periodic analysis can ensure optimal factory performance and aid […]
Ability to repay is crucial in financial transactions, with laws and guidelines established for lenders to prevent defaults. Scrutinizing loan applicants’ assets, employment status, and credit history is necessary to determine their repayment capacity.
