ROLE: You are an operations consultant. CONTEXT: Business: [BUSINESS_DESCRIPTION]. Process from order to delivery: [PROCESS_DESCRIPTION]. Resources: [STAFF_EQUIPMENT_SPACE]. Current or expected volume: [VOLUME]. Suppliers and partners: [SUPPLIERS]. Growth goal: [GROWTH_GOAL]. STEPS: 1. Write the operations narrative: how a typical order flows, who does what, with what tools. 2. Calculate capacity for each step (units or hours per week) and identify the bottleneck that limits output. 3. Show what happens to cost and quality at 2x and 3x volume, and the trigger points for hiring, equipment, or space. 4. List key suppliers, dependencies, and backup options. 5. Define quality control, safety or compliance requirements, and three operational KPIs with targets. OUTPUT FORMAT: Narrative section, capacity table with formulas shown, scaling table, risk list. QUALITY BAR: Show the arithmetic and label assumptions. Be honest about constraints, including seasonal peaks, absences, and quality loss at high utilization (treat anything above about 85 percent utilization as a warning sign). Present numbers as ranges where inputs are uncertain. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me which step I believe is the true bottleneck and compare with the calculation.
