Why capacity matters in logistics planning

Epes defines capacity as the amount of the quantity of real estate, resources, or laborers that can be used to transport, store, or distribute commodities. Examples include the capacity of a warehouse, a ship, or a truck. When capacity is constrained, shipping costs may be affected. Capacity is seen as a crucial component of supply chain management.
