Products may only be produced on their own production lines. Teams cannot transfer production Capacity from one product to another.
Teams can produce up to 200% of rated Capacity by running a 2nd Shift (or Overtime if the HR module is enabled). Teams cannot produce more than 200% of line's rated Capacity. To get useful Proforma information, teams should match their Production Schedule to the team's Sales Forecast. There is a one year lag between purchase and use of additional production Capacity and Automation. Buy it this year - use it next year. Cash from sale of plant Capacity (by entering a negative number in the Buy /Sell Capacity cell) is immediately available. Entering a smaller number in the Automation cell does not raise cash (team's should watch the Investment row). Entering a new value in Automation incurs a retooling cost, no matter if it is up or down. Important: New products require Capacity and Automation to be purchased a year prior to release. Selling all of a product's Capacity will eliminate (discontinue) the product. Any remaining inventory will be sold to scrappers at 50% of the cost of production. Selling all but one unit of Capacity allows teams to sell inventory at full price.
