What moves profit most
Each input moved 20% down and 20% up, one at a time, with everything else as in this scenario.
The scenario
What the model leaves out
- One product family, one plant, at most one distributor and one ingredient supplier. Several markets, other products competing for the same line, and allocation between markets are not modelled.
- Campaigns are averaged: their lost capacity, delay and cycle stock are modelled, but not individual batches and when each is made.
- The distributor's stock is not aged; shelf life is tracked at the plant only.
- Nobody is laid off: the workforce shrinks only as people leave.
- Costs and prices are illustrative, not a quotation.
