Useful example

Repair-Workshop Capacity

A plain-language example for repair workshops and field-service teams. Use it to think about whether an improvement changes total process output, not just one local activity.

Find my process constraint

Example situation

A workshop has several benches and technicians, but completed repairs lag behind incoming work.

Typical model inputs

Flow unit: repairs
Demand: 55 repairs per week

Capacity signals

Diagnosis

68 per week

Some spare capacity.

Parts fitting

50 per week

Likely capacity constraint.

Final test

58 per week

Close to demand but not first constraint.

Improvement test

Adding parts-fitting capacity may raise total repairs until final test becomes the next likely constraint.
