This word is made up of three parts: 'Leistung' (performance), the linking -s, and 'Fähigkeit' (ability). So it literally means the 'ability to perform'.

strength / force
'die Kraft' and 'die Leistungsfähigkeit' can both have to do with what a person or thing is capable of doing. 'Kraft' more often means the concrete physical or inner strength someone has in a situation. 'Leistungsfähigkeit' is more general and more objective: it describes how well someone, a machine, or a system can work or function over a certain period of time. For people, strength can be part of performance capacity, but performance capacity often also includes endurance, concentration, or technical capacity. In a simple everyday situation, 'Kraft' sounds more natural; for assessments, health, work, sports, or technology, 'Leistungsfähigkeit' is more precise.
