An operations team increases the number of orders processed in parallel to raise throughput.
As parallel handling increases, coordination effort and mental load rise, slowing execution.
| Improve | Worsen |
|---|---|
| Capacity of active entity (7) | Mass of active entity (1) |
Increasing operating capacity increases active burden.
Applicable TRIZ principles:
Segmentation
Split order processing into independent streams handled by small autonomous units.
Taking out
Remove non-essential coordination tasks from the active process.
