Rough Cut Capacity Planning Tool

The RCCP tool developed is based on Theory of Constraints (TOC) methodology for achieving a product and sales channel mix for profit maximization for use in the monthly S&OP process. Following are its features:

1. Assigning priority to different sales channels/ SKUs for maximizing total gross margin and adding it as a scenario to be optimized

    

   

    

    

2. Optimizing the scenario using excel solver, by providing constraints (minimum and maximum demand) and objective function (maximizing gross margin)

    

   

    

    

3. Allocating critical resources to production using excel solver, by providing constraints (resource capacity available and resource requirement)

    

   

    

Following are the benefits of using our RCCP tool:

1. Assigning priority to different sales channels/ SKU as per the business requirement

2. Custom scenarios can be built based on different priorities

3. Compare the different scenarios created and analyze them

4. Optimization on the basis of total Gross Margin

5. Schedule production based on the identified bottleneck stage capacity

6. Reduction in developing manufacturing schedules in the S&OP process

7. Substantial savings in the total Gross Margin through optimization

8. Provides several management reports such as Machine Utilization, SKU and Channel wise Sales, Gross Margins, etc.
