OPS.8.1:2 - Problem

A completion signal establishes that something finished within its stated boundary. The next start can nevertheless displace work still needed for the previous customer’s result. A rule that waits for all possible later claims can create the opposite loss: useful resources remain idle while a completed item awaits a response that uses none of them.

The operator needs to compare these consequences before selecting a signal. The signal, the population limited by a card or count, the resource load and the customer’s completion event may have different boundaries.
