Capacity utilization
Example result only, not a forecast or promise.
- Output headroom

- Revenue at full use
- $1,250,000
- Gross profit at full use
- $500,000
What to do with this result
Check the bottleneck process and service levels before adding capacity or assuming all unused capacity can be sold.

Calculation method
Utilization = output / capacity. Headroom = max(capacity − output, 0). Potential contribution = headroom × price × margin.
Assumptions and limitations
- Capacity is the sustainable bottleneck capacity, not nameplate capacity.
- Headroom is not demand; selling all additional output is an explicit scenario.
