Planning a New Product Introduction Into an Already-Loaded Network
A manufacturer must introduce a new product family into a plant network already running near capacity, without breaking existing customer commitments.
Run on Niyojan · Production Planning & Scheduling
The challenge
Available capacity is not evenly distributed, and finding it requires modelling the whole network rather than each plant.
New product ramp curves are uncertain, so a single-point plan is fragile.
Existing commitments cannot be disturbed to make room, but nobody can prove which ones are at risk.
How Niyojan solves it
Network Capacity Modelling
Available capacity is modelled across the whole plant network rather than assessed plant by plant.
Commitment Protection
Existing customer commitments are held as hard constraints so any feasible plan preserves them.
Ramp Scenario Solving
Several ramp curves are solved so the introduction plan is robust to how demand actually develops.
Tooling and Qualification Sequencing
Tooling, qualification, and material lead times are sequenced against the ramp rather than assumed available.
Plan Commitment
The chosen introduction plan is committed with its capacity assumptions recorded.
The outcome
Capacity for the introduction found by modelling the network rather than surveying plants.
Existing commitments preserved as hard constraints rather than hoped for.
An introduction plan robust across several ramp scenarios.

Capabilities used
Every accelerator is assembled from the same capability layer, so a workflow you adopt here shares its foundation with the rest of the portfolio.
