OPS.8:3 - Forces
| Force | Practical tension |
|---|
| less started Work and reliable replenishment | A small started population can reduce congestion, but too little eligible supply can leave an important resource idle. |
| local autonomy and joins | A team can finish its own contribution while the receiving activity still waits for the rest of its kit. |
| small batches and setup burden | Smaller transfers can expose problems sooner; frequent setups or transactions can consume scarce time. |
| pooling and differentiated service | Sharing eligible demand can reduce idle capacity while changing failure exposure, priority, tail delay or fairness. |
| simple rules and protected conditions | A common dispatch rule is easy to use, but clinical, safety, compatibility and contractual conditions may require distinct treatment. |
