Explore our load/capacity management approach, designed to efficiently balance workload with available capacity to ensure optimal resource management and operational performance.
Context and Challenges
Load/capacity balance refers to setting up the resources or means to satisfy a demand over a given period of time.
In addition to controlling the feasibility of a production run, load/capacity management is also a decision-making system that determines whether an order cannot be completed due to a lack of resources or, on the contrary, whether it is decided to acquire the capacity to complete the task.
By underestimating capacity in relation to demand, a company can incur significant costs, and conversely, an excessive mobilisation of resources, while more convenient, also generates costs.
The Axsant approach
Axsant helps you build and manage your workload plan to balance workload and capacity while optimising resource allocation:
- Anticipate future volume fluctuations and load peaks.
- Identify bottlenecks.
- Anticipate medium and long-term investments and new resource acquisitions.
