Contract Manufacturing Solutions

Capacity Planning

When Cirtronics adopted lean manufacturing principles, we moved away from traditional production schedules and adopted a visual card system. This is unique from most other contract manufacturers because work is released based on our customers' needs.

Cirtronics utilizes capacity planning tools for order analysis and delivery commitments in conjunction with:

• Annual business plan analysis, looking at projected sales forecasts and required resources.
• Monthly/quarterly sales projections to analyze staffing and resources to meet booked and projected short-term requirements.
• Morning meetings with manufacturing staff and afternoon production meetings with representatives from program management, HR and manufacturing to adjust resources within the teams to meet daily production requirements and address last minute customer expedites.
• Constant communications with the manufacturing teams regarding customer design changes, volume shifts, and priorities.
