Capacity & Resource Planning

Capacity & Workforce Planning ensures manufacturers and distributors have the labor, equipment, suppliers, and logistics capacity needed to support predictable revenue fulfillment, superior customer service, and profitable growth. Explore insights on capacity planning, workforce planning, labor scheduling, supplier capacity, production constraints, and SIOP (Sales Inventory Operations Planning). Learn how integrated planning, data, and technology improve resource utilization, increase throughput, reduce bottlenecks, and build resilient, scalable operations.

The Manufacturing Boom: Are You Ready to Scale?

Manufacturing is gaining momentum, creating significant opportunities for companies prepared to scale. Learn how to strengthen demand planning, assess end-to-end capacity, leverage technology strategically, and position your business for profitable growth.

Building a Foundation for Growth

Avtron Power Solutions partnered with LMA Consulting Group to improve capacity planning, optimize SAP Business One, strengthen MRP capabilities, and implement a proactive SIOP process. The result was greater visibility into future demand, improved customer commitments, right-sized inventory, and a scalable foundation that supported record revenue growth.

Capacity Planning Case Study to Secure Reliable Delivery Dates At Order Entry

One of the most common issues executives raise is the inability to secure reliable delivery dates upfront when communicating with customers and taking orders. Clearly, this bottleneck results in frustration and the potential for lost orders as customers demand reliable delivery dates, stable lead times, and expedited performance.

Production & Labor Scheduling Case Study to Maximize Productivity

As geopolitical and economic risks rise, executives become more concerned. Proactive clients are taking action to boldly invest where it makes sense while aggressively focusing on inventory and cost reduction of non-value added items/ work and also ensuring high customer service levels.

Proactive Approach to Maximizing Production Output & Capacity

Clients are struggling to keep up with customer's changing requests. Order backlogs remain relatively high (depending on the industry), but customers are pushing orders out at the last minute, pulling orders in without notice, adding future potential orders, and changing requirements on the fly. Production is scrambling to keep up.

Using Capacity Planning to Increase Revenue & Profitability

Manufacturing is on a downward trend after eight months of PMI (purchasing manager's index) below 50. It dropped to 46 in June. China's manufacturing also shrank for a third month in a row to a PMI of 49. Yet manufacturers backlogs remain relatively robust in many industries, leading executives perplexed on what to do about capacity shortfalls.

Labor Scheduling: Maximize Operational Performance & Serve Customers

At its simplest, labor scheduling is determining which people (and which skills) you should have at which sites at which work centers at what time (shift) to ensure the right products can be delivered to the right customer at the right time.

Capacity planning is critical in complex and volatile environments. Lisa Anderson joined supply chain leaders to discuss how aligning people, equipment, suppliers and logistics capacity with demand can improve predictability, customer service and operational performance.

Managing Capacity in Complex, Volatile, Long-Lead Environment

Capacity planning is critical as manufacturers navigate volatile demand, extended lead times and supply chain disruptions. Learn how leaders are addressing capacity constraints through nearshoring, productivity improvements, workforce strategies, technology and rapid scaling.

Zephyr Manufacturing: Proactive Planning to Grow and Scale

Proactive planning can help manufacturers prepare for growth even amid continued supply chain disruptions. Lisa Anderson discusses why capacity planning, what-if scenarios, and strong planning processes are essential to assess capabilities, support additional sales, and achieve profitable, scalable growth.
