Which production plan holds up under real constraints?
Circonomit calculates the production and sequence plan for mechanical-engineering companies with high variant complexity, long setup times and binding delivery dates. One number you can defend.
Setup times and delivery dates collide every day. The price is booked nowhere.
High variant complexity, long setup times, binding delivery dates — your plan carries many hard constraints. Which plan handles them best, nobody calculates.
Your ERP schedules. Your APS optimizes capacity. Which of all feasible plans is the best trade-off between on-time delivery, utilization and margin — that is in no system.
Every setup sequence has a price. What it costs in capacity, in setup time, in missed delivery dates — that stays a guess without a calculated model.
Circonomit calculates the plan for mechanical-engineering reality.
Your ERP manages orders. Your APS schedules capacity. Circonomit calculates which plan, under your real setup times, capacity limits and delivery commitments, produces the best trade-off — defensible, because calculated.
Model
First the planning problem is structured: which variants are in the portfolio? Which setup times apply? Which delivery commitments are binding? Circonomit connects your data and your planners’ knowledge into a calculable model.
Simulate
What happens if a large order is pulled forward? What does a setup sequence that saves capacity but endangers delivery dates cost? Circonomit simulates all relevant scenarios before you decide.
Optimize
Circonomit calculates the sequence that, under your real conditions, produces the highest contribution margin. Not the theoretical maximum, the achievable optimum. With an explicit price for every alternative.
Plans that hold up on the shop floor.
The result: a calculated model for your production or sequence problem, with three to five quantified scenarios and an explicit cost-benefit comparison per alternative. You know which plan balances on-time delivery, utilization and margin best, and what every deviation concretely costs.
From experience-based planning to calculated planning.
You see which plan handles setup times, variants and delivery commitments best, under your real conditions.
Every plan change carries a price. Circonomit makes it visible before you decide, not when the problem shows up on the shop floor.
No new data project. Circonomit works with your existing data from ERP, APS or Excel.
What you want to know.
Q:
Does this work for small and mid-series production?
A:
Yes — small and mid-series with high variant complexity is typically exactly the context where calculated planning has the highest leverage. Circonomit represents variants, setup times and lot-size effects explicitly. The more variants, the bigger the advantage of a calculated plan over an experience-based one.
Q:
What does the pilot concretely deliver after 3 weeks?
A:
A calculated model for the agreed planning problem, based on your real data. Three to five quantified scenarios with an explicit cost-benefit comparison per alternative. A comparison against current practice. The success criterion is agreed in writing before work starts. Fixed price: EUR 7,500 net.
Q:
What if our data is incomplete?
A:
Circonomit works with what you have. Excel is enough as a starting point. Missing data we replace in the first step with structured expert knowledge from your planners — that is explicitly part of the modelling approach, not a compromise.
