Capabilities

It is only with capacity management and planning that companies can successfully compete in today’s high intensity marketplace. Manufacturers must focus and align their one major strategic asset to meet customer expectations. This asset is their manufacturing and process capacity.

Technical Assist works with companies to create an understanding of their current capacity assets, customer demand and how to improve the ability to focus capacity on market opportunities.

Demand Analysis:

Our work begins with an assessment of customer and product demand. Demand is analyzed for volume, variability and geographic location . This information is used to create the customer and market dynamic analysis.

Product demand is then categorized by manufacturing process and type. Routings and process cycle times are matched to product demand to develop capacity consumption by product and customer.

Manufacturing capacity is a key element in determining your companies ability to meet customer and product demand. Manufacturing processes are analyzed on the basis of equipment capabilities and location. Process capacities are calculated on a location basis and evaluated against demand.

Capacity Planning:

The analysis of demand and capacity a planning opportunities become clear. The analysis identifies improvement opportunities in the alignment of capacity to meet demand requirements.

Strategies are developed for matching manufacturing capacities and making improvements where they can provide the highest impact. A prioritized list of specific opportunities is developed and estimates of cost/benefits generated. Successful capacity management and planning provides the roadmap to manufacturing improvement.
