AI-Driven Capacity Planning for SyteLine
Capacity planning in SyteLine determines whether you can deliver on your promises. The gap between rough-cut capacity planning and actual shop floor capacity is where manufacturers lose credibility with customers and profitability with overtime. AI agents close this gap.
Capacity Planning Challenges
SyteLine's capacity planning tools provide the framework, but the intelligence to use them effectively requires understanding of demand variability, resource constraints, setup dependencies, and workforce availability that changes weekly. Most manufacturers rely on spreadsheets to supplement SyteLine's native capacity planning.
- RCCP accuracy below 80% leading to unreliable customer promises
- Bottleneck resources shifting weekly but capacity plans are monthly
- Overtime decisions made reactively costing 15-25% premium
- New product introduction capacity impact analysis taking weeks
AI Capacity Intelligence
Netray's capacity agents continuously analyze demand, monitor resource utilization in real-time, predict bottleneck shifts, and recommend capacity adjustments proactively. They work within SyteLine's planning framework but add a predictive intelligence layer.
- Real-time capacity utilization tracking across all work centers
- Predictive bottleneck identification 2-4 weeks in advance
- AI-optimized overtime scheduling minimizing premium labor costs
- Scenario planning for new products with capacity impact analysis
Capacity Planning Results
Manufacturers improve on-time delivery 15-25%, reduce overtime costs 30-40%, and gain 2-4 weeks of advance warning on capacity constraints. A precision components manufacturer eliminated all missed deliveries due to capacity issues within 6 months.
