2FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT Cost Behavior Production capacity in the manufacturing environment is defined as the maximum possible output in the economy. It is defined as the ability for deploying the capacity if the product which is based on the demands for the goods by using the current resources that includes factors such as labor, land, infrastructure, facilities and machines. The capacity of production is referred by using three definitions of the capacity. First is, design capacity, which means that the maximum possible output that can be achieved, second is, the effective capacity that means the maximum possible output under the given constraint such as product mix consumption, requirement of quality, scheduling problems and machine maintenance. Last is, actual output, which is defined as the rate of the output, which is actually attained that is typically less than effective output that caused by the breakdown of machine. Insufficient capacity will lead towards poor performance, frustration of the manufacturing personnel and increase work in progress that affects reduction in the productivity prospects and customer dissatisfaction (Hitomi, 2017).

Hence, decisions are required for finding out the objectives that maximize profits that is subject to constraints. The production capacity operates within the relevant range.
