CT: Companies measure capacity in different ways using either the input, output or a combination of the two as the measure. For example, a recycling company calculates their capacity based on the amount of material they clear from the inbound trailers at their plant, while a textile company calculates capacity based on the amount of yarn produced, i.e. an output. Companies use two measures of capacity, theoretical and rated. The theoretical capacity is defined as the maximum output capacity that does not allow for any downtime, while rated capacity is the output capacity can be used for calculation purposes as it is based on a long-term analysis of the actual capacity.
