Capacity Scheduling

Capacity planning software that promises only what the plant can deliver

Delivery dates are set by hope, then missed when the constraint is already overloaded. DO.Impact builds capacity from actual machine hours, labor, tooling and changeovers so quotes and schedules reflect what is possible.

Real capacity by cell, shift and constraint

Capacity is modeled around the resources that actually limit output — cells, machines, tooling, labor and suppliers. Averages are replaced by period-by-period load so overloads are visible before they become late orders.

  • Cell and resource calendars with shifts and planned downtime
  • Constraint identification by product family and routing
  • Actual performance from OEE feeding the next capacity view

What-if scenario for new orders

Before accepting a big order or a rush job, model the impact on the constraint. See whether overtime, subcontract or rescheduling is needed, and what each option costs.

  • Insert new demand and see load shift by period
  • Compare overtime, subcontract and reschedule options
  • Revenue and margin impact attached to each scenario

Load versus capacity visualization

A simple load-versus-capacity chart shows where the plant is protected and where it is exposed. Management reviews focus on decisions, not on reconciling spreadsheets.

  • Graphical load profile by week or month
  • Overload periods highlighted by resource
  • Drill-down to the orders driving the peak

Link to scheduling and SIOP

The agreed capacity plan feeds the weekly schedule and the monthly SIOP cycle. When shop floor performance changes, both views update from the same source.

  • Capacity plan drives the 0-12 week schedule
  • SIOP scenarios use the same capacity model
  • Shop floor feedback closes the loop automatically

Frequently asked questions

What is capacity planning software?

Capacity planning software calculates how much a plant can produce based on machines, labor, shifts, tooling and constraints. It helps manufacturers quote realistic lead times and decide whether to add overtime, subcontract or reschedule.

How is capacity planning different from scheduling?

Capacity planning answers 'can we do it?' over the medium term. Scheduling answers 'who does it when?' over the short term. DO.Impact connects both so the agreed capacity plan feeds the weekly schedule.

Do we need a full ERP to use it?

No. You can start with manual inputs: cell definitions, shift patterns, known downtime and a rough demand plan. As the process matures, you can connect your ERP or MOM for live data.

How accurate is the capacity picture?

Accuracy improves with data. The first version uses planned availability; over time it is refined with actual OEE, downtime and changeover records from the shop floor.

What does it cost to start?

There is no setup fee. Open the read-only TitanScale demo workspace to see capacity planning tied to SIOP and scheduling, then start the free 7-day sandbox with your own cells and orders.
