-automated cougar tail production line that could be run round the clock with very little human interaction.
-talk to the manufacturing department about how to improve throughput
-invest in new equipment if need be.
-if your production is not meeting demand then that's a management problem.
for example this piece of equipment can crank out 1320 dozen donuts/hour if a cougartail is equavalent to half a dozen donuts then that would be 220 tails/hour
now they might not need to go that big but maybe it's time to re-examine your process if you can't meet demand and not look to make excuses.
