01
Capacity and resource planning
Estimate required capacity, allocate people, machines, space or budget, identify bottlenecks and test what happens when demand changes.
Problems we solve
Planning under constraints, not a catalogue of methods.
Spacelytics helps with complex operational decisions where resources, criteria, constraints and scenarios must be considered together and standard software does not expose the full trade-off.

02
Production planning and scheduling
Align demand, resources, production rules, sequencing and service objectives when standard MRP or ERP does not capture all special conditions.
03
Network, distribution and allocation
Allocate customers, warehouses, territories or capacity across a network while considering cost, service, constraints and utilisation together.
04
Scenario and CapEx planning
Compare expansion, new lines, facilities or investment options under different demand, cost and capacity assumptions.
05
Technical and investment prioritisation
Structure project or technical-option choices when the decision depends on several criteria and explicit trade-offs.
Examples of application
Where these problems often occur
Planning problems under constraints often occur in manufacturing, industrial operations, logistics and distribution - especially when decisions recur, useful data exists and standard systems leave important constraints unresolved.
Manufacturing and industrial operations
Capacity, production mix, line balancing, sequencing, machine and workforce allocation, maintenance and investment scenarios.
Logistics, distribution and 3PL
Warehouse capacity, customer-to-depot allocation, network configuration, dock and yard flows, resource and scenario planning.
When an additional model is not needed
When we are not the right fit
The problem is simple and low-stakes
If the existing spreadsheet or rule reliably solves the decision, an additional model is unnecessary.
A packaged system already covers the important constraints
If ERP, APS, WMS or TMS genuinely models the relevant constraints and produces the required decision, there is no reason to create a parallel system.
There is no material consequence
Analytical work makes sense when errors affect capacity, cost, service, time, investment or another material outcome.
Does your decision have this pattern?
Describe how the decision works today and which constraints remain outside the current system.
