What is long term capacity planning?
Long-term capacity planning is a strategic process that involves determining an organization’s ability to meet future demands for its products or services over an extended period. This planning horizon typically ranges from several months to several years, depending on the industry and business context. The primary goal of long-term capacity planning is to ensure that an organization has the necessary resources, infrastructure, and capabilities to support its growth and respond to changes in market conditions.
