The bottleneck is inside and being paid away: internal limits on serving live demand, with removal already funded
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2022 call → NOWe need answer YES or NO based only transcript. Need assess if management conveys main thing standing between company and meaningfully more business right now is company's own capability (capacity, people, facilities, throughput, delivery) rather than demand shortage, and already spending real money and effort to remove that internal limit, with business waiting visible. Need identify from transcript. Management says demand strong, taking market share, lead times top-tier, supply chain shortages causing delays. They mention supply chain shortages as constraint. But question asks own capability not purchased-input shortages alone. Need see if management identifies own capability as binding? They discuss manufacturing strategy, capacity expansion. Example: "we are also rebalancing our capacity to be able to absorb more volume and spend more products... we decided to end capacity in our [Indiscernible] facility as well. So we are undergoing a little bit of a transformation by adding more capacity and be able to ship the product." Also "Our teams have spent a lot of time formulating plans for each business segment to maximize us in the region, for the region and make versus buy strategies." "investments in manufacturing operations have contributed to top-tier industry lead times... We continue to take greater market share, balancing Ted with supply chain, balancing Ted with macro-economics here." "We have increased inventories to address our backlog and maintain our top-tier lead times" "We are carefully balancing working capital... to provide timely deliveries... amid significant demand and material shortages." Are they saying limit is own capability? They talk about supply chain shortages causing sales delays (estimated $6.6M hydraulics, $11M electronics). That is purchased input shortage, not own capability? But they also mention capacity expansion and manufacturing strategy to open up capacity. Need evaluate.
