Capacity Planning Software

Capture the program to part relationship with clear visibility

Capacity Planning enables Automotive Suppliers to see beyond the short-term capacity forecast provided by EDI and their ERP/MRP system in a small fraction of the time it traditionally takes with the spreadsheet method.

Our Capacity Planning software was designed specifically for Automotive Suppliers to provide clear visibility of the quoted, planned, and actual capacity forecast and history, including the ability to easily model multiple options and scenarios and then compare them side by side to better understand where opportunities and concerns may exist.

What makes the Part-Book Sales Capacity Planning software for automotive suppliers unique?  For starters, it captures the program to part relationship, including takes rates and quantity per vehicle at every level of an easy-to-create custom-engineered bill of materials and operations. 

Capacity Planning also accounts for many of the other typical automotive supplier variables such as work pattern options and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).

In addition, with the Part-Book Insights™ we’ve leveraged Microsoft Power BI (Business Intelligence) to create dashboards for multiple capacity planning options and scenarios, including the ability to layer in unsecured new business, which provides the visibility necessary to strategically align the commercial team with new business opportunities in a way that improves asset utilization and minimizes investment.
