Constraints for SNP

Logical List of Constraints

We found a nice list for helping to appreciate how constraints are managed in SNP. It is from the book Supply Chain Management with APO by Jörg Thomas Dickersbach and sample pages are available at Google Books at

So we don’t think it violates any copyrights to republish it here.

The thing we like about it is it neatly explains some things as constraints, that are not ordinarily thought of as constraints as they are not related to resources (although several of the items listed below are specifically related to resources – as you can see resources apply to the first for items.)

Once you broaden your understanding of constraints beyond simply resources in SCM, it becomes an interesting way of describing the suite.
