What are the Best Capacity Planning Tools Available?
Summary
However, as the manufacturing process becomes more complicated, it can be time-consuming and frustrating to manually perform capacity planning calculations. Pretty much everyone’s first attempt at managing capacity planning will be with an Excel spreadsheet because it’s a quick way to perform complex calculations. They can be well integrated into the company business planning systems, and enable accurate forecasting of your company’s ability to meet customer demand. Enabling this functionality usually requires putting detailed manufacturing information into the ERP system, such as accurate cycle times. Secondly, we could also calculate how long it will take to manufacture a quantity of product for an order: Using the example above, let’s say a customer wants to purchase 500 widgets: It will take 88,235 seconds of manufacturing time to produce 500 widgets, so if we had 3 workers dedicated to this order, how many shifts would it take to complete?
