Manufacturing Capacity Planning
Optimize production plans to meet current and future demand
Manufacturing Capacity Planning with Cosmic Frog
Manufacturing capacity planning uses optimization and simulation modeling to determine how resource allocation and distribution will impact supply chain efficiency.
With Cosmic Frog manufacturing capacity planning you can understand current production capacity needs while forecasting future requirements and risk factors.
Enter data on your facilities, production lines, and processes to identify your baseline
Model a variety of what-if scenarios to optimize production capacity
Get a risk rating with every scenario
Optimize Resource Utilization to Unlock Hidden Capacity
Manufacturing capacity planning software helps you create efficient production planning schedules that minimize the over and underutilization of resources based on historical data, current demand, and production capabilities. This enables tactical, shorter-term planning that maximizes existing capacity and determines how you will use excess inventory that doesn’t fit in the warehouses.
Streamline Your Capacity Planning Process
Find out when, where, and how to make or buy products
Avoid expedited scheduling, excess in-process inventory, missed delivery dates, and unhappy customers
Boost efficiency, delivery capacity, and profit margins
Align Supply and Demand to Maximize Actual Output
Create models with variable demand to identify strains in your production capacity planning process, then adjust production accordingly. Balancing supply and expected demand improves customer satisfaction and supply chain performance by eliminating problems like stockouts, excess inventory, and holding costs.
Manage Risk with Scenario Simulation
Model “what-if” scenarios that reflect changes in forecasted demand, production capacity, or lead times, then use these simulations to identify potential bottlenecks, constraints, and other risks and create contingency plans before they become supply chain disruptions. Determine the root cause and best mitigation strategies by running an iteration of the simulation for each potential mitigation strategy.
