Production

Sensors may only be produced on their own production lines. Companies cannot transfer production Capacity from one sensor to another.

Companies can produce up to 200% of rated Capacity by running a 2nd Shift (or Overtime if the HR module is enabled). Companies cannot produce more than 200% of line's rated Capacity.

To get useful proforma information, companies should match their Production Schedule to the company'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 (company's should watch the Investment row). Entering a new value in Automation incurs a retooling cost, no matter if it is up or down.

Selling all of a sensor 's Capacity will eliminate (discontinue) the sensor . Any remaining inventory will be sold to scrappers at 50% of the cost of production. Selling all but one unit of Capacity allows companies to sell inventory at full price.
