Long Term Capacity Planning

Anaplan for Long Term Capacity Planning allows you to find the right balance between demand forecasts and the asset and material requirements that are communicated towards the supply chain.

The app enables enterprises to focus on cost reduction and maximize contribution by optimizing the use of existing production facilities.

Demand Cockpit: The Demand Cockpit helps you analyze growth trends in market demand over a planning period and the extent to which it is fulfilled by the existing capacity. Based on the growth projections, you can then determine your need for future capacity enhancements. You can choose a specific market region/country to analyze the fulfillment level in detail.
Demand vs. Planned Capacity by Product: View market demand and planned production by product in a table. When you click on a product, the details of the market demand by country for that product are displayed in a subsequent table. When you click on any country on that table, the details of the supplying country for meeting the demand are displayed in the Details of Supplying Country table.
Capacity Analysis by Country: View capacity utilization at country level, which helps identify regions with full capacity and look for alternate arrangements like outsourcing or increasing working hours to meet unfulfilled demand in those regions/countries. Utilization levels against targets gives information on production efficiency that is below par so you can email the Production Unit Head in the respective unit for corrective action.
Auto Allocation: The Scenario Management and Network Exclusions tables give you different options to choose from before running auto allocation, including capacity from new lines, which restricts optimization up to target utilization. You can also state specific exclusions between any market production unit combination. Additionally, you can specify whether you want only auto allocation, only manual allocation, or a combination of the two. The manual-then-auto options helps you specify manual values where required, leaving the balance for the system to automatically allocate in the most optimal way.
