Capacity planning is the strategic process of determining the production capability, workforce, and resource requirements a business needs to meet expected future demand for its goods or services.
A logistics company expects a 30% increase in shipments during the holiday season and hires additional drivers and leases extra trucks several months in advance as part of its capacity planning strategy.

There are three main types: workforce capacity planning, production capacity planning, and resource capacity planning, each focusing on different areas of a business’s operational needs.
In logistics, capacity planning ensures that there are enough transportation assets, warehouse space, and staff to handle expected shipping volumes efficiently, avoiding service disruptions.
Common tools include ERP systems, forecasting software, spreadsheets, and simulation models to predict resource needs based on historical and projected data.
