It’s less about how much a factory could theoretically produce and more about what it can realistically deliver given real-world constraints like machine availability, worker schedules and material lead times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Think of it like packing for a trip. You know how much your suitcase can hold (capacity), and you know everything you want to bring (demand).

They calculate what needs to be built and when, without checking whether the machines or workers exist to actually do it.
