You can now setup a maximum Capacity to be applied on one or several roles of the Supply Chain. This will limit the number of units this role can ship to his client on a given week.

You can find below an example, where the capacity of 6 limits the shipped quantities, even if the player had enough stock.

Note that due to the capacity, a player can have both stock and backorders. The participants need to manage their stock considering their own capacity (no need to have a lot of stock if you are limited by your capacity).

You can also setup some events to modify the capacity. At different moments in the game, players may be limited either by stock or capacity.

This makes collaboration and communication even more crucial, as the capacity of your supplier and client should ideally be considered when ordering.

If you want to try out this new parameter, you can have a look at our latest "Electric Vehicle Supply Chain" template.
