AGGREGATE CAPACITY MANAGEMENT

The process of managing and planning the maximum capacity of the resources of an organization. The goal of aggregate capacity management is to balance the capacity and the demand in a cost-effective way. It is usually a medium-term management, unlike other capacity management that are in a day-to-day or weekly basis. The term "aggregate" means that this type of capacity management considers the resource as whole including the production capacity or manpower, without any distinction on the kind of resource.
