The calculation of rated capacity typically considers factors directly related to the production capabilities of a facility or process. This includes the efficiency rate, which measures how well the capacity is currently being used relative to its maximum potential; the utilization rate, which reflects the actual output as a percentage of what could potentially be produced; and available time, which indicates the amount of time that production resources are operational and thus capable of producing output.

Annual usage, on the other hand, refers to the total amount of a product that is used or sold over a year. While this metric is important for understanding demand and guiding production planning, it does not directly reflect the capacity of a system or process to produce goods. Instead, it serves as an indicator of market demand rather than operating efficiency or capacity calculation, hence it is not included in the rated capacity calculation.
