Master Planning & Capacity Planning
The problem
Many manufacturers build production plans based on demand without fully considering equipment availability, labor capacity, material constraints, or operational limitations. The result is unrealistic plans, constant rescheduling, missed deliveries, and inefficient resource utilization.
How Harumi helps
Is your production planning process facing any of these challenges?
Master Planning & Capacity Planning helps manufacturers align demand, capacity, materials, and operational constraints to build realistic production plans, maximize resource utilization, and respond faster to change.
Production demand exceeds available capacity
Demand frequently exceeds available manufacturing capacity, making it difficult to deliver customer orders without delays or frequent replanning.
Capacity constraints are discovered too late
Production bottlenecks often become visible only after plans are released, causing schedule disruptions and missed commitments.
Planning is disconnected across resources
Production, labor, equipment, materials, and capacity are planned independently, resulting in infeasible production plans and conflicting priorities.
Planning is slow and reactive
Teams spend too much time manually adjusting production plans instead of proactively balancing demand, capacity, and operational constraints.
Capabilities
The pillars of master planning & capacity planning
Harumi helps manufacturers connect demand, capacity, resources, and operational constraints to build feasible production plans and make better planning decisions.
Demand & Capacity Synchronization
Balance customer demand with available manufacturing capacity to identify shortages, overloads, and planning trade-offs before execution.
Resource & Capacity Planning
Coordinate labor, equipment, work centers, and production resources to maximize throughput while respecting operational constraints.
Constraint & Bottleneck Analysis
Identify production bottlenecks and capacity constraints to understand their impact and evaluate alternative planning decisions.
Master Production Planning
Generate realistic production plans that balance demand, capacity, inventory, and business priorities across the manufacturing network.
