Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products. In the context of capacity planning, "design capacity" is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of completing in a given period, "effective capacity" is the maximum amount of work that an organization is capable of completing in a given period due to constraints such as quality problems, delays, material handling, etc. The phrase is also used in business computing as a synonym for Capacity Management. We have discussed the Capacity planning in Nestle in this report. The problem of seasonality and demand fluctuation also affects Nestle – the chocolate giant. Demand for chocolate increases mainly during the winter season (around Christmas and Easter holidays) and drops off during the summer.
