Recommending advance production: what does it cost, and can I defend it?

Circonomit calculates the optimal production and inventory plan for the next 6 to 8 weeks: according to your specifications, within your real capacity limits. A number, not an estimate.

Plans without calculation cost margin every day.

You plan production and inventory for the coming weeks, but the trade-off between on-time delivery, utilization, and costs is not fully calculated anywhere.

Recommending a plan change without numbers to back it up is difficult to defend. What it costs, what it delivers, whether it can be pushed through internally, remains an estimate.

Your ERP plans what is possible. Which of all possible plans is the best trade-off between on-time delivery, utilization, and costs, it does not calculate.

Circonomit calculates the optimal plan, according to your specifications.

Your ERP plans what is possible. Circonomit calculates what is best. Those are two different questions. Which production and inventory plan yields the best trade-off between on-time delivery, utilization, and costs under your conditions? Defensible, because calculated.

1

Model

First, the S&OP problem is structured: Which capacities are available? Which inventory costs arise from advance production? Which delivery commitments are binding? Circonomit connects your data and planning knowledge into a computable model, in weeks, not months.

2

Simulate

Step 3: Utilise the control tool with drilldowns, scenarios, and additional data sources

What happens if demand rises unexpectedly in week 5? What does advance production in inventory cost versus overtime at peak? Circonomit simulates all relevant scenarios before the plan is set, not after.

3

Optimize

Circonomit calculates the production and inventory plan that, under your real conditions, capacity limits, inventory costs, and delivery commitments, yields the best trade-off. With an explicit cost for every alternative. A recommendation you can defend internally.

A plan you can defend internally.

The result: a calculated model for your S&OP problem, with three to five quantified planning alternatives and an explicit cost-benefit comparison per scenario. You know which plan best balances on-time delivery, utilization, and costs, and what every deviation from that concretely costs.

Planning decisions based on numbers, not assumptions.

You see which production and inventory plan yields the best trade-off between on-time delivery, utilization, and costs, calculated, not estimated.

Every plan change has a price. Circonomit makes it visible before you decide, whether advance production, capacity reallocation, or overtime.

No new data project. Circonomit works with your existing data from SAP, ERP, or Excel.

Q:

What distinguishes Circonomit from our APS or ERP planning module?

A:

APS systems and ERP planning modules calculate what is possible within your capacities. Circonomit answers a different question: Which of the possible plans is the best, measured by on-time delivery, utilization, and costs in trade-off? And what does every alternative cost? That is not a planning function, but a decision function. Circonomit complements your existing systems, it does not replace them.


Q:

What does the pilot deliver after 3 weeks?

A:

A calculated model for the agreed S&OP problem, based on your real data. Three to five quantified planning scenarios with an explicit cost-benefit comparison per alternative. A comparison to current practice. The success criterion is agreed in writing before the start. Fixed price: EUR 7,500 net.


Q:

Does Circonomit work if we use SAP?

A:

Yes. Circonomit takes your SAP data and answers the question SAP structurally cannot: Which plan is the best under your conditions? We add a decision layer to your SAP that calculates the optimal trade-off, based on what SAP already knows.
