How to Use This Calendar

Production Capacity Planning

Start securing production lines and arranging staff 2-3 months before peak demand months. This allows comfortable handling during busy periods.

Staff Optimization

Focus on equipment maintenance and new product development during off-peak periods, so you can concentrate on manufacturing during busy seasons.

Sales Activity Timing

Buyers start looking for manufacturers 3-6 months before shopping seasons. Proactive sales activities aligned with demand peaks are most effective.

Raw Material Procurement

Securing raw materials can be difficult during high-demand periods. Use this calendar to plan early ordering and inventory management.
