Instruction Manual & Strategy Guide (Statement of Cost Focus)
Backstory: You’re the Production & Cost Control Lead of a newly launched manufacturing business. Each episode is a production period. Management wants you to hit the output target while keeping manufacturing costs under control. Cutting costs too aggressively can backfire: scrap rises, complaints increase, and you can burst (game over).
How you win
• Your score is Total COP across Episodes 2–8 (lower is better).
• You must meet every episode’s output target (good units).
• You burst immediately if Scrap ≥ 3% or Quality risk ≥ 3.
• You also burst if Needed production units > Capacity (target becomes impossible).
• After each choice, the right panel shows a Statement of Cost (SOC) and you can click lines to see workings.
