This paper describes a straightforward method of quantifying the sensitivity of production capacity to product mix. In capacity planning over horizons with unpredictable product mix, this methodology quantifies the risk of under-investment in capacity. Actions that can be taken to prevent mix-driven capacity shortfalls are described. The implementation of this methodology at Headway Technologies is also presented
