Planning
Find bottlenecks before they stop production
Rough-cut capacity and material planning, scenario modeling, and throughput forecasting.
- RCCP gives managers a complete view of production load by days, weeks and months
- Instantly see critical materials, resource shortages or overloads
- Multi-scenario simulations compare options and test changes before you commit
+20%
Improved capacity thanks to early detection of bottlenecks
-30%
Fewer material shortages through MRP and safety stock management
+25%
More accurate forecasts with scenario modeling
How it works
See ahead — act with confidence
The system shows capacity loads and material needs before problems arise, helping you choose the optimal scenario.
Rough-Cut Planning
Resource and material requirements calculated by days/weeks/months.
Dependent demand analysis
Identification of bottlenecks and critical materials.
Scenario modeling
Parallel calculations for different what-if cases.
Simulation forecasting
Assessing the impact of changes on throughput.
Scenarios, capacity modes and labour
Plan the same demand several ways, then compare the consequences before anyone touches a machine.
- ASAP, JIT and custom scenarios calculated in parallel
- Finite or infinite capacity, chosen per work centre
- Alternative work centres considered when the primary one is loaded
- MRP with supplier lead times, planned supplies and safety stock
- Labour requirements by profession and grade, plus subcontracting demand
Roles
What will you gain?
Resource load forecasting
See capacity utilization days, weeks, or months in advance.
Early bottleneck detection
Spot critical resources and materials at the planning stage, not in crisis.
Scenario analysis for better decisions
Compare alternative plans and pick the best one.
Scope
What's in the box?
Rough-Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP)
Workforce requirements planning with constrained/unconstrained availability models
Material planning (MRP) with supply and safety stock consideration
Automatic detection of bottlenecks and critical materials
Scenario modeling for simulation analysis and decision-making
Parallel calculations for multiple scenarios
Calendars for shifts, holidays, and maintenance schedules
Throughput forecasting for production
Visualization of resource load by days, weeks, months
Built for real production
More control where manufacturers feel the pain
Practical capabilities that remove rework, hidden delays and spreadsheet handoffs from daily operations.
Batch rules that match the shop floor
Split demand by batch, container or production multiple instead of forcing one planning rule.
Included from AdvancedCompare plans before releasing one
Keep schedule versions, review the impact and release the plan the team agreed on.
Included from AdvancedWhy it matters
What planning teams get
Improved capacity
Early detection of bottlenecks keeps schedules realistic.
Fewer material shortages
MRP and safety stock management catch shortfalls before they bite.
More accurate forecasts
Scenario modeling lets you test decisions before committing resources.
Customers
Trusted with their planning
Scenario modeling gave us the ability to test different plan versions. It really saves resources.

For me, the key is confidence that orders will be fulfilled. The system provides a transparent picture of capacity load.

Before, we only saw problems when they turned into crises. Now bottlenecks are visible right in the plan.
