An image is worth a thousand words:





















Having this concepts crystal clear, the next lesson is the 3 capacity models:

  1. Demand based > dynamic
  2. Allocation based > static
  3. combination of demand and allocation models 

With the first method, demand, the resources are assigned to the objects based on their demand and with the second mode, allocation, the resources are assigned to objects in static way.

The allocation model reduce the risk of insufficient capacity based on teh assigned resources for objects.

See an example how a trend analisys is different from a demand to an allocation based model:
