supplycorpus / corpus / capacity
// corpus dimension 13 of 17
The best shop at full is no shop.
Shifts, headcount, open machine time. Capability without capacity is a waitlist.
// what the corpus holds
Shift pattern. One shift, two, or lights out machining overnight.
Headcount. People on the floor, where published or disclosed.
Load signals. Hiring pushes, new machines, quoted backlogs.
Elasticity. Who can absorb a spike and who is already saturated.
// why it decides sourcing
Every capability question has a second half: can they do it now. A perfect-fit shop with a nine month backlog is a fact you want before the RFQ goes out, not after the award.
