1
So, have you ever went shopping, let's say for a new apartment or a new house?
2
and you actually purchased or decided to rent a new apartment or buy a house, you probably started capacity planning at some aspect.
3
And in this sense, capacity planning is really just
4
How you optimize space is very similar when we talk about manufacturing and capacity planning in that sense.
5
You can't put a king size bed in a very small room.
6
Right?
7
Take a look at this floor plan, this floor model.
8
If this is enough space for you, great.
9
But if you put the wrong size furniture in this space, you're not utilizing your capacity well.
10
It's just like the technologies that we have, computers and cell phones.
11
They have limited bandwidth.
12
And so does the organizations that produce products.
13
So in this sense, capacity is simply the measure of an organization's ability to sustainably produce products based on customers' demand.
14
goods and services based on customers' demand.
15
How well can we produce?
16
And this is going to be based on what we call our maximum
17
throughput or our maximum rate of output which is called our throughput.
18
So if we can only produce 100 units a day, and we're producing 100 units a day,
19
we're operating at full capacity and at 100 % capacity utilization because that's our maximum rate of throughput.
20
Now, what's driving that?
21
It could be a number of things.
22
However, we could have a bottleneck, right?
23
And that bottleneck could be slowing down production in some aspect.
24
Therefore, we have to improve that bottleneck in order to increase capacity.
25
Now, there's another aspect we can look at, and that's called system capacity.
26
So, system capacity is driven by the number of but we also consider the strongest and the weakest points within that system.
27
This is where we begin to get into bottlenecks in specific departments
28
that could be the reason that we have such low throughput or where our maximum output is at a specific rate.
29
So in this case, your maximum output is going to be driven by the department
30
with the slowest amount of time or the department with the least amount of output.
31
Here's an example.
32
Let's say you ran a sandwich shop.
33
Right?
34
And right now in your three departments you have 20 slices of bread,
35
15 slices of cheese, 12 slices of turkey.
36
Every sandwich that you make requires two slices of bread, one slice of cheese, and one slice of turkey.
37
Yeah.
38
How many total sandwiches can you make based on your inventory levels?
39
you can only make 10, right?
40
Because you have 20 slices of bread, You have...
41
15 slices of cheese and then you have 12 slices of turkey.
42
So your bread department is the slowest
43
or have the least amount of output therefore they determine your throughput which is your maximum output rate.
44
You can only make 10 sandwiches because you only have enough bread to make 10 sandwiches.
45
You could make at least two more, because turkey would be next in line with 12 slices.
46
So you could do two more if you had four more slices of bread.
47
And that's how throughput works in relation to capacity planning.
48
And this is when other departments get involved in organizations
49
when it comes to producing products and how they can particularly slow the company down or become the bottleneck.
50
And that can be for a number of reasons, right?
51
Maybe the bread department has some employees that are on
52
are not as efficient in that department as they are in other departments.
53
But that's the general sense of what capacity is.
54
Key takeaways.
55
Capacity planning and capacity is really just about the measure of how can a company produce to meet demand,
56
sustainably produce to meet demand of customer demand for products and or services.
57
output is so
58
low or their production time is so slow because
59
that department is going to drive their throughput because the lowest throughput
60
or the slowest time is the one that drives the throughput for the entire system.

日常生活のシナリオから学ぶ「Capacity Planning」
マンションを探す時、部屋の大きさに合わせて家具を選ぶことってありますよね。このような日常の場面が、ビジネスでの「Capacity Planning（能力計画）」の考え方と似ているんです。ビデオでは、サンドイッチ屋の例を使って、「スループット（最大生産量）」や「ボトルネック（隘路）」が生産に与える影響を説明しています。これらの概念は、IELTS スピーキング対策でも役立つ実用的な語彙ですよ。
覚えておきたい便利なフレーズとコロケーション
- sustainably produce：持続的に生産する
- maximum throughput：最大スループット
- capacity utilization：能力利用率
- drive the throughput：スループットを決定する
- bottleneck in the system：システムのボトルネック
これらのフレーズは、英語スピーキング練習でビジネス関連の話題を展開する時に大活躍します。特に、IELTS スピーキングでは「生産効率」などのトピックについて話すことがあるので、事前に覚えておくと安心です。
あなたのシャドーイングチャレンジ
さあ、今すぐ shadow speech の練習をしましょう！ビデオを1分程度再生し、その後すぐに同じスピードとイントネーションで繰り返してみてください。特に「sandwich shop」の例の部分を重点的に練習して、「20 slices of bread」などの数字の発音もはっきりと！YouTubeで英語学習する時は、このようなシャドーイングが最も効果的です。1日5分でも続けると、スピーキングの流れが自然になりますよ。頑張って！
この練習は shadowspeaks の基本でもあります。少しずつ慣れてきたら、ビデオのスピードを上げて挑戦してみてください。あなたの英語力が着実に上がること間違いなしです！

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
