Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article “A Dynamic Approach to Manage the Production Capacity” is to identify the main elements that are “overlooked” by the classic literature in this field. After a short inclusion into the definition and methods of capacity planning, we complete this article with our own research. We accentuate the importance of defining bottlenecks, in order to define the relationship between possible production and actual production capacity. The entire article underlines the importance of the governing link, suggesting the necessity for the dynamic approach of the production capacity. In order to face our time challenges we must compare the links within the capacity planning with what is requested of them and not just between themselves. This article provides a classic solution but also opens new ways for future developments.
