The situation where maximum global prodution of automobiles exceeds the total global demand for automobiles.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            It is used to describe a situation where the global production of automobiles exceeds the total global demand for them.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            The capacity which exceeds the capacity needed to sustain a normal production level. The available capacity can be used to cover peak production levels and thus increase the flexibility of a manufacturer. Or it can provide additional capacity required if a constant increase in production is forecasted for the future.
