Will this machine upgrade actually increase sellable throughput?
Cap uplift at the slowest downstream step and available demand before valuing an upgrade.
Example scenario

- Current bottleneck capacity / hour
- 70
- Upgraded capacity / hour
- 110
- Next-slowest process / hour
- 90
- Customer demand / hour
- 85
- Operating hours / year
- 3,500
- Contribution / extra good unit
- $12
- Upgrade capital cost
- $400,000
Annual throughput contribution uplift
Example result only, not a forecast or promise.
- Additional sellable units / year
- 52,500
- Upgrade simple payback
- 7.6 months
- Upgraded constrained throughput / hour
- 85
What to do with this result
Walk the full process and validate demand; an isolated speed increase may only move the queue.

Calculation method
Sellable throughput = min(process capacity, next-slowest process, customer demand). Annual contribution = change in sellable throughput × hours × unit contribution.
Assumptions and limitations
- Example inputs are editable scenarios, not Aryo results or independently verified industry benchmarks.
- Recovered capacity is not booked revenue or automatic cash savings. Validate the bottleneck, quality and demand before monetizing output.
