Competing demand for raw materials
Meat and fish can serve towns directly or fill canned food; grain and tinplate also have other industrial consumers.
Plan the operation
List all destinations before allocating supply. Compare the effect of diverting material to processing against the direct consumers that would receive less.
Check the result
Use observed stock and unmet demand to review the allocation. Do not assume the most complex chain is always the most profitable.
