Worked out from Researched engineering contract R3612: capacity = resources x rate x hours x utilisation and 2 other sources.
Capacity here is a planning figure. It assumes the resources are interchangeable and independent; a line of dependent stations is limited by its bottleneck instead.

How this is worked out

4 steps
  1. Design capacity = 2 resources x 10 per hour x 8 hours = 160 units.
  2. Effective capacity = 160 x 0.75 utilisation = 120 units, so 40 units of capacity are absorbed by downtime.
  3. No demand given, so no coverage figure.
  4. No setup times given.
