Abstract: Starting from the existing output-oriented plant capacity measure, this paper proposes a new inputoriented plant capacity measure. Furthermore, we empirically illustrate both input- and outputoriented utilisation. In particular, we thereby pay attention to the impact of convexity of the technology on both input- and output-oriented plant capacity measures.
