The company is producing floating furniture made in Hawaii for the American and Chinese
markets. Here, the market comprises of two different countries, so therefore, the type and
quantity of furniture should also be diverse. It is very difficult to predict the demand of the
customers but every business should have a proper short-term and long-term capacity
decision plan in order to cope up with the dynamic environment.
Capacity:
It is an average amount of goods produced in a given period of time by a manufacturing
plant to meet an immediate or future customer demand.
Example Our company should produce 500 homogenous pieces in a week to meet the
demand of partner countries.

manager

Long-term capacity decision
