What is "capconn"

CAPCONN stands for Capacity Constricted Conveyance and is a diagnostics model for analyzing certain supply chain issues, especially with respect to material handling.

The model graphically illustrates efficiencies in a supply chain. Mathematically, the concept works similar to a series of conveyor belts, each with a different width and rolling at a different speed. If a product, like sand, had to be passed through the series of conveyor belts, then normally one belt would constrict the amount of sand that could ultimately be transferred. However, by not just looking at the 'constrictor' component of the chain, but also the differences in widths and speeds, a supply chain analyst could potentially derive more diagnostic information about the system.
