Manufacturing Strategy & Capacity Planning

How to Best Utilize Existing and Future Manufacturing Assets

Infrastructure Strategy and Capacity Planning analysis identifies the best use of existing and potential capacity when comparing supply/capacity with demand changes across manufacturing and warehousing.

It is risky to intuitively manage capacity at a network level, as the trade-offs become interdependent and any moves across sites cause baseline manufacturing costs to shift. Instead, it requires a process that combines the ability to view complex variables and evaluate different options to arrive at analytically driven decision-making. However, only a minority of companies have this capacity for planning.

Your Key Decisions Optimized
  • How much of which products to produce on which resources
  • Make vs. buy
  • When and where to add/divest capacity
Solving Complex Questions
  • How many manufacturing locations are required? Where should they be located?
  • Make vs. Buy? What are the ideal supplier terms?
  • How best to adjust capacity and labor requirements seasonally?
  • What is the optimal allocation of capital to improve the footprint? Should machines be upgraded or replaced?
