What approaches can be used to solve overcapacity or undercapacity issues?

Being able to project the overall production load is essential to optimise your manufacturing workshop.

Identifying overcapacity or undercapacity in advance enables you to make fast and effective decisions:

✅ Increase or reduce workforce

✅ Subcontract part of the workload

✅ Postpone certain customer deadlines

✅ Schedule preventive maintenance operations

DELMIA Ortems helps you identify these capacity challenges so you can either smooth the load or take corrective measures depending on context, seasonality, or operational constraints.

In case of overcapacity:

➜ Anticipate overtime

➜ Open a temporary or additional production line

Conversely, in case of undercapacity:

➜ Use these periods to carry out maintenance or train your teams

Make sure you make the most of all your machine and human resources.
