Case Studies
Seasonal Capacity Stabilization
A seasonal-demand manufacturer stabilized packaging capacity by redesigning planning rhythm, changeover practices, and backup supplier strategy.
Overview
A seasonal-demand manufacturer stabilized packaging capacity by redesigning planning rhythm, changeover practices, and backup supplier strategy.
Peak Planning
Built trigger-based planning logic for high-demand periods and promotional windows.
Changeover Control
Reduced setup variance with recipe standards and role-specific checklists.
Supply Resilience
Introduced validated backup capacity to reduce lead-time failure risk.
Initial Challenge
During peak months, schedule volatility and supplier bottlenecks caused delayed shipments and reactive overtime.
Execution Approach
Implemented a weekly risk board, phased capacity triggers, and supplier fallback protocols aligned to SKU criticality.
Outcome
Peak season execution became more predictable with fewer urgent escalations and better dispatch consistency.
