Cut batch sizes in half
B: Produce parts more quickly.
D: Cut batch sizes in half to attempt increasing throughput.
A: Increase the throughput of the plant while keeping costs within controls.

C: Reduce the cost of producing parts.
D': Not cut batch sizes in half and remain on the same plan.
In order to Increase the throughput of the plant while keeping costs within controls. I must Produce parts more quickly. and in order to Produce parts more quickly. I must Cut batch sizes in half to attempt increasing throughput.. But, in order to Increase the throughput of the plant while keeping costs within controls. I must also Reduce the cost of producing parts. and in order to Reduce the cost of producing parts. I must Not cut batch sizes in half and remain on the same plan.. I can't both Cut batch sizes in half to attempt increasing throughput. and Not cut batch sizes in half and remain on the same plan..
| Relation | Assumption(s) | Injection(s) |
| D-D' | The two are options that are separate from each other. | |
| B-D | Decreasing the size of the batch on a non-bottleneck resource reduces the amount of time waiting to receive parts for assembly. | That the correct parts would be available for assembly. |
| C-D' | Doing so will increase the time required to produce each part. | That the resultant increase in labor cost would be offset by more sales. |
| A-B | It will provide clients with delivery of parts more quickly. | The resulting increase in setups inflate the cost of the parts. |
| A-C | The added expense of higher costs will affect my throughput. |
