Supply chain factory - no purchase

Post by flexistone »

Hello,

I used to play Capitalism 2 and now bought Cap Lab...

I wonder, why some factorys hab problems with supply of products. I produce semi products (e.g. steel) in factory "A" - usage level actually 20%...
Factory "B" byus steel from "A", the link is connected - but obviously the purchasing modul does not buy material... or it buys not the needed amount or to slow....

I hope, I explained my problem...

I try, to send some pictures...
Version 7.1.0.5
MOd in use: RealWorld V11.41

Thank you for your help!!!!

Greetings

Flo

I figured that there is a bottleneck at the Truck Parts Output unit in the warehouse.

I added an extra Output unit, using the space originally occupied by an Input unit, as illustrated in the attached screenshots. Then I ran the game for a while with the training budget set to maximum to get the new Output unit level up as quickly as possible.

As time passed, I started to notice increases in the production rate of the Truck factory.

Ok - thank you very much...

It would be useful to understand the maximum capacity of e.g. Sales Unit, Manufacturing Unit... Also would it be helpful to understand the capacity of a warehouse input and outgoing unit for better finetuning the supply chains....


Thank you very much for the great support!!!
