When demand is low, suppliers are able to make sufficient quantities that meet these demands. When demand suddenly spikes, suppliers are struggling to produce adequate amounts – hurting sales and leaving customers unhappy. Couple this ailment with an increasingly global supply base – often resulting in lack of emerging markets supplier maturity (capacity/capability) – makes manufacturers’ visibility and control of meeting customer demands very difficult. The key to balancing capacity in an upturn, inventory levels during downturns and managing customer demand throughout the business cycle is **an agile supply base**. By increasing a supplier’s possible capacity, a manufacturer’s entire value stream provides the framework for a truly agile enterprise. ### Related Challenges - [Supply Chain Network Analysis](https://www.cgnglobal.com/supply-chain-network-analysis) - [Supply Chain Management](https://www.cgnglobal.com/supply-chain-management) - [Supplier Performance Improvement](https://www.cgnglobal.com/supplier-performance-improvement-practice) - [Lean](https://www.cgnglobal.com/lean-practice) - [Quality Improvement](https://www.cgnglobal.com/quality-improvement) - [Supplier Collaboration](https://www.cgnglobal.com/supplier-collaboration-management) - [Inventory Management](https://www.cgnglobal.com/inventory-management) - [Transportation Management](https://www.cgnglobal.com/transportation-management) ## CGN Global’s Capacity management CGN Global’s Capacity management starts with a thorough evaluation to accurately gauge the current state then rapidly plans and implements capacity improvement efforts to impact the OEM’s bottom-line, top-line and key performance metrics. ### Evaluate - Supplier capacity - Supplier capability - OEM-Supplier relationship - OEM-Supplier communication ### Impact - Meet short, mid & long-term capacity goals - Plan and Implement supplier capacity improvement roadmap ### Typical OEM Benefits - Dramatic increase in supplier capacity - Increased ability to produce & ship on time - Achievement of OEM revenue & profitability targets - Improved response time & value chain reliability/flexibility - Decreased supply chain complexity - Enhanced supplier capability - Alignment of supplier to OEM strategic goals - Reduced inventory - Elimination of line-down issues - Clarity & visibility on risks with ![22](https://www.cgnglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/22.jpg?width=1745&name=22.jpg "22") ### CGN Generally Takes A 6 Step Approach Towards Sustainable Capacity Management: The key outcome of CGN’s supplier capacity transformation is the achievable idea of sustainability. Customer demand will always be a rollercoaster with twists, turns and 50-foot drops. Organizations often invest millions of dollars throughout the year increasing the capacity of their suppliers when needed, and are left with excess when demand suddenly takes a dive. CGN uses a workshop based approach to enable suppliers to be more efficient and effective and able to ramp up/ramp down capacity with ease, resulting in huge benefits to all parties’ bottom lines and invaluable customer satisfaction. CGN Generally Takes A 6 Step Approach Towards Sustainable Capacity Management: - Supplier Identification and Engagement - a critical first step in developing a collaborative program that defines the relevant level of intervention with suppliers - Deep Dive Capacity Assessments - involve “doing the homework” prior to supplier visits as well as detailed on-site assessments for identifying all capacity challenges at a business level - Mitigation Planning - establishes commitment through clear understanding of roles & responsibilities, timeline and investment expectations from both sides - Enterprise Capacity Planning & Modeling - Tactical action plans are augmented with a strategic understanding of the mid-long term supply and demand gaps across the supply base to further refine the mitigation plans - Governance - collaboration, coordination and control are extremely important for providing continuous focus on the common goals of the program and ensuring success - Action Plan Management - ultimately, relentless execution by working the plan is the key to achieving success ### For more information on CGN's Supplier Capacity Management capabilities, please contact: Request Call Back X [![CGN_Tagline1 (1)](https://www.cgnglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CGN%20New%202018/CGN_Tagline1%20(1).png?width=203&name=CGN_Tagline1%20(1).png "CGN_Tagline1 (1)")](https://www.cgnglobal.com/) © 2026 CGN.
