Capacity Constraint Analyzer

Overview

The Capacity Constraint Analyzer provides production and supply chain capacity analysis using Theory of Constraints (TOC) principles. It identifies bottlenecks, models capacity exploitation strategies, and supports capacity investment decisions.

Capabilities

Capacity Utilization Calculation: Resource utilization analysis
Bottleneck Identification: Constraint and limiting factor detection
Constraint Exploitation Strategies: TOC-based improvement approaches
Capacity Adjustment Modeling: Expansion and contraction scenarios
Lead Time Impact Analysis: Capacity effects on delivery performance
Rough-Cut Capacity Planning: Aggregate capacity assessment
Finite Capacity Scheduling Support: Detailed scheduling inputs
Capacity Investment Analysis: CapEx decision support
