[Verse 1]
When resources run short and demand runs high
Products compete for the same supply
Labor hours scarce, materials thin
Which product mix will help us win?
Don't just look at profit alone
Calculate where your limits are shown
[Chorus]
Contribution margin per limiting factor
That's the key to be the profit maximizer
Divide contribution by the constraint you face
Rank them high to low, then allocate your space
Maximize the return on what you lack
Constrained resource allocation keeps profits on track
[Verse 2]
Product A makes fifty dollars clear
But takes ten hours of labor here
Product B makes thirty-five instead
Using just five hours overhead
Which one deserves priority?
Let's solve this systematically
[Chorus]
Contribution margin per limiting factor
That's the key to be the profit maximizer
Divide contribution by the constraint you face
Rank them high to low, then allocate your space
Maximize the return on what you lack
Constrained resource allocation keeps profits on track
[Bridge]
A gives five per hour, B gives seven per hour
B wins the allocation power
Fill demand for highest ranked first
Until constraint capacity bursts
Then move down to the next in line
Optimizing profit by design
[Verse 3]
Machine time, materials, skilled labor too
Identify which constraint limits you
Single bottleneck or multiple bounds
Calculate ratios, see which astounds
The highest ratio gets first claim
Playing the resource allocation game
[Chorus]
Contribution margin per limiting factor
That's the key to be the profit maximizer
Divide contribution by the constraint you face
Rank them high to low, then allocate your space
Maximize the return on what you lack
Constrained resource allocation keeps profits on track
[Outro]
When resources are tight and choices are hard
Let the math be your guiding guard
Contribution per constraint will show the way
To maximize profits every day
