Manufacturing & Supply Chain

Theoretical and effective plant capacity from machines, hours, rates, and OEE.

Output as a share of capacity — the operating-leverage dial of any asset.

Availability × Performance × Quality — the manufacturing improvement metric, decomposed.

Little's Law in practice: WIP, cycle time, and throughput — fix any two, get the third.

The drumbeat of demand: how often a unit must leave the line to keep pace with customers.

How many times inventory cycles per year — and how many days of cash sit on the shelf.

The order size that minimizes total ordering + holding cost — Wilson's formula, applied.

Pallets to square meters: storage footprint with stacking, aisles, and utilization factored.

Total order-to-delivery time by component — and where the days actually hide.

Score supplier and chain exposure across five dimensions into one comparable index.
