How to approach this case
An operations case asks you to describe the process before trying to improve it. Rebuild the chain step by step, then look for where time, capacity or quality is lost by asking for measurements at each step. The bottleneck is rarely where the client places it, which is why comparing the throughput of each link pays off. There is no ready-made grid for these cases: an issue tree built on the client's actual process beats a memorised structure.
It also includes a chart or table to read: first say what the axes show, then give the main message in one sentence before going into detail.
