Release Throughput

Useful output is below plan: which stage is limiting it, and which capacity change increases output first?

Model map

The governing limit is highlighted

What governs output

Current released product

40 kg/month

Governing limit

Purification train at its 40 kg/month ceiling

First modeled capacity change

Restore ~10% purification capacity

Situation

Two upstream processes share purification, fill/finish, and release. Leadership can fund one capacity move.

Model logic

Tests each capacity change against the same released-product objective and operating limits.

Constraint chain
01

Upstream expansion adds no released product while purification is full.

02

The unused budget does not help unless it is spent on the active bottleneck.

03

About 10% more purification capacity adds roughly 4 kg/month.

Takeaway

Restore about 10% of purification capacity to raise released product from 40 to roughly 44 kg/month.
