[Verse 1]
Factory floor humming, machines demand their share
Labor hours dwindle, raw materials wearing bare
Product Alpha earns us fifty bucks per unit sold
Product Beta brings in thirty, but there's more to unfold
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't just count the dollars floating in
Divide by what's constraining
[Chorus]
Contribution margin per limiting factor
That's your golden contractor
Highest ratio wins the production line
Bottleneck mathematics, profit by design
Squeeze the most from every scarce resource
Calculate your optimal course
[Verse 2]
Alpha needs five hours, Beta only takes two
Per hour of constraint, which one's working for you?
Fifty divided by five gives ten per hour earned
Beta's thirty divided by two, fifteen returned
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't just count the dollars floating in
Divide by what's constraining
[Chorus]
Contribution margin per limiting factor
That's your golden contractor
Highest ratio wins the production line
Bottleneck mathematics, profit by design
Squeeze the most from every scarce resource
Calculate your optimal course
[Bridge]
Rank your products, highest first
Satisfy demand until constraints burst
Move down the list, allocate what's left
Strategic choices, profit theft prevention
[Verse 3]
Machine capacity, skilled technician time
Storage space, or credit line
Whatever chokes your system flow
That's the denominator you need to know
[Final Chorus]
Contribution margin per limiting factor
That's your golden contractor
Highest ratio wins the production line
Bottleneck mathematics, profit by design
Maximum profit from constrained supply
Let the ratios be your guide
[Outro]
When resources squeeze tight
Let mathematics shed the light
