Explanation

Finite Capacity Planning is the practice of scheduling and allocating resources based on their actual, limited (finite) availability – as opposed to infinite capacity planning, which ignores real-world constraints. When you have scarce machinery shared across three major programs and you are analyzing how much of that limited capacity exists and how it should be allocated, you are applying Finite Capacity Planning. This technique ensures that resource demand does not exceed actual supply and helps make realistic, achievable plans. Resource Schedules (B) are an output/artifact, not the analytical technique. Resource Management Tools (C) is a broad category of software/systems. Resource Smoothing (D) is a scheduling technique that adjusts task timing to avoid resource overloads but does not change the project end date – it is a more specific and different concept than finite capacity planning.
