Constraints: Market

Updated over a year ago

A Market Constraint is an External Constraint (influenced by external sources) either on the supply or demand side. This may include a lack of available labor (supply) or the cost of a commodity that you're selling (demand).

Examples of Market Constraints may include:

  • Cost

  • Supply

  • Demand

  • Uptake

  • Order Quantity

  • Max. vs. Min

  • Price

  • Alternatives

  • Competitors

  • Shortages / Scarcity

  • Order Quantity

  • Available Labor

Hints:

Have you considered the demand for your products and services?

Don’t maximize production capacity unless you can feasibly obtain the raw materials for that capacity / production level.
