Capacity planning - celver AG

Efficient use of resources in view

Capacity planning ensures the efficient use of company resources. Production planners must not only consider the availability of machines, but also include batch sizes and setup times. Especially in a production network, where production costs and delivery times to the end customer can vary greatly, this subplan is an often underestimated discipline.

However, the consequences of suboptimal planning - such as a low service level or inefficient capacity utilization- are much more visible. This results from a lack of or only sporadic reconciliation between sales and capacity planning. The now normal volatility of the sales and procurement market exacerbates this problem.

Modern planning solutions with simulation options allow various scenarios to be run through in the shortest possible time, taking into account delivery time agreements and costs. This means that you can also be optimally prepared for unforeseen events.

We are happy to support you with our many years of experience in optimizing your capacity planning. When defining the right planning process for you, benefit from our tried-and-tested templates and best-practice templates for fast results. Our tip: The best way to start is with a joint workshop to determine the ideal planning process for your specific requirements.

To the workshops

In order to be able to serve all market requirements with my capacities, I need an intuitive interface that shows me bottlenecks and free capacities and supports the planner in making the right decision.

Our services for you

Design target processes

In joint workshops, we define your individual target planning process. In the process, we determine the target process that makes the most sense for your company situation either on the basis of our best-practice templates through GAP-Fit or using the Green Field Approach.

Define dimension and data model

We work with you to develop the ideal data model for your planning processes - from the dimensional structure and hierarchical relationships to the organization and processing of metadata.

Implement planning processes

We integrate the planning solution into your system landscape and implement it in the platform that suits you best.

Integrate planning

For a seamless flow of information and efficient processes, we support you in integrating your planning solution into the system landscape and in connecting all operational systems.

Optimize and automate forecasts with AI

Use the potential of state-of-the-art technologies and methods for automation: Through statistical models, mathematical derivations as well as machine learning, we raise your forecast process to a new level.

Benefit from our prepared framework for automated forecasts. The framework contains an ensemble of state-of-the-art forecasting methods and self-learning algorithms and selects the mathematical model with the most plausible results per time series for each run. The advantage: you no longer have to worry about the calculations and logic in the background.

In addition to historical data, you can also incorporate external information such as weather data, inventory data or market analyses such as IHS data in the automotive sector into the forecast. This allows you to keep an eye on all trends and developments, even for product ranges with thousands of items.
