horizon
infinite loading - Precise Answer ✔✔Calculation of the capacity
required at work centers in the time periods required regardless of the

each operation
rated capacity - Precise Answer ✔✔The expected output capability of a
resource or system. Hours available × efficiency × utilization
finite loading - Precise Answer ✔✔Assigning no more work to a work
center than it can be expected to execute in a given time period

and taking corrective action, as needed, to align performance with plan
production activity control (PAC) - Precise Answer ✔✔The function of
routing and dispatching the work to be accomplished through the

utilization - Precise Answer ✔✔A measure (usually expressed as a
percentage) of how intensively a resource is being used to produce a

time. Traditionally, this measure is the ratio of direct time charged (run
time plus setup time) to the clock time available
