When you talk of the capacity of a service you are talking about the capacity of the equipment to handle a certain amperage. A 400 amp service has to have all of its equipment to be rated to handle 400 amps. The maximum capacity of the service will be what the service is protected at, be it with fused or breakers. If the fuses of the main breaker were 300 amp rated then the maximum capacity of the service would be 300 amp even though the equipment is rated at 400 amps. The service capacity is governed by the fusing that is protecting the service.

How many amps can you take off the power pole if its 100 amp in service service now?

It depends on a lot of factors. Since you will have to get an electrician involved you should start there. It is likely that you can double the capacity, but the electrician would consult with your power company to determine what is possible. I recently went from 200 A to 400 A service with a large addition; and a transformer was required in the house with rework of the two panels I already had into 5 panels.

What is capacity management in service sector?

Capacity management is the ability to balance demand from customers and the ability of the service delivery system to satisfy the demand . This places an emphasis on understanding first the nature of demand by forecasting (Lovelock, 1984) and second the options for managing capacity to meet the expected demand. Sasser (1976) has suggested two basic strategies for managing capacity in services of "Level" and "Chase", the former applicable where capacity is limited and hence the focus is on influencing demand to be in line with capacity, and the latter strategy being possible when supply can be changed to keep in line with demand. Capacity management in services to match supply and demand has a direct influence on the ability of the service delivery system to achieve service quality and resource productivity targets. Capacity management in service operations is a testing activity for operations managers because the nature of the service delivery process and the involvement of the customers in the process restricts the normal options open for controlling the process to match supply with demand; namely, altering the capacity, holding and inventory in anticipation of demand, and requiring customers to wait for the service.
