Capacity Planning That Keeps Production Running Full
Plan and manage every resource directly inside Salesforce — with real-time visibility into machines, labor, and materials, so every production decision is based on reality, not yesterday's spreadsheet.
CNC Line A nearing limit. Bottleneck risk in 2h 14m — consider redistributing WO-4821.
Suggested: Reassign WO-4821 to CNC Line B — capacity available: 43%
Why Capacity Planning Breaks Down
Production doesn't fail from lack of demand — it fails when resources, schedules, and reality are out of sync.
Capacity planned in isolation
Schedules are built without connecting to real machine or labor availability, causing immediate misalignment from day one.
Schedules ignore real constraints
Plans are made on paper, not on live data — so the floor operates on outdated information from the start.
Material availability not aligned
Resources are assigned to jobs before confirming materials are ready, causing costly mid-run stoppages.
Changes reach the floor too late
By the time updates travel through email, meetings, or spreadsheets — production is already behind.
The Impact on Your Operation
Axolt changes this. Your resources, schedules, and demand are fully connected inside Salesforce — so every decision is based on reality, not yesterday's data.
Everything You Need to Run at Full Capacity
Four connected capabilities that give you complete visibility and control over every resource in your production operation.
Complete Capacity Visibility
Know exactly what resources you have and how they're being used across every production line, machine, and labor pool — in real time, not from a report run this morning.
Scenario Planning
Plan for change before it happens. Simulate production scenarios, evaluate demand vs capacity, and adjust plans based on future requirements — without committing resources prematurely.
Bottleneck Prevention
Identify risks early — before they impact output. Detect overloaded resources, highlight constraints in production flow, and adjust schedules proactively rather than reactively.
Dynamic Resource Allocation
Adapt instantly to changing conditions. Reassign machines and labor in real time, respond to delays or demand changes, and keep resource usage continuously optimised across every line.
See Your Capacity Clearly
A single live view of your entire production capacity — machines, labor, schedules, and demand — all inside Salesforce.
Live utilisation dashboard
Every resource tracked in real time with instant alerts when capacity thresholds are approached.
Capacity vs. demand overlay
Planned workload against available capacity across any time horizon — day, week, or month.
One-click resource reassignment
Reassign work orders to available resources without leaving the planning screen.
Capacity Planning Connected to Your Entire Business
Axolt doesn't treat capacity planning as a standalone function. It connects directly to every part of your operation inside Salesforce.
Production Scheduling
Align every schedule with real available capacity so planned jobs execute on time.
Inventory / MRP
Confirm material availability before assigning capacity — no starts without supply confirmation.
Manufacturing Execution
Support real-time shop floor operations with capacity-aware work order dispatch.
Sales Orders
Drive capacity plans from actual demand — production responds to orders, not estimates.
Warehouse
Coordinate inbound material flow with production timing to avoid supply-driven stoppages.
Finance
Track production efficiency and costs in real time — capacity decisions tied to financial outcomes.
From Reactive to Predictive
Traditional capacity planning reacts to problems after they happen. Axolt prevents them before they reach the floor.
Manufacturers That Need Precision and Control
Whether you run a single plant or a global multi-site operation, Axolt capacity planning scales with your complexity.
Discrete Manufacturing
Manage complex production workflows and dependencies across multiple work centers and BOMs.
Process Manufacturing
Balance materials and capacity across continuous and batch production with precision.
Multi-Site Operations
Coordinate capacity across plants and facilities with centralised visibility and control.
Growing Manufacturers
Scale production planning without losing control as order volumes and complexity increase.
Plan with Confidence.
Execute Without Delays.
Know your capacity. Align it with demand. Run production efficiently — all inside Salesforce.
