Editorial research on capacity hidden in plants

What we publish

Trapped Capacity publishes research on the production capacity that plants lose to stops, changeovers, slow running, rework and waiting, and on how to translate those losses into hours, units, cash and payback.

Editorial standards

How we source, check and correct our work.

• Sourcing. Figures come from named public datasets, published studies and standards, cited at source with the unit, population and period. Where we build a model, every assumption is shown.
• Methods. Each report and exhibit states how its numbers were produced and what they do and do not show. See Methods.
• Corrections. A corrections address will be published here before launch (placeholder). Errors are fixed in the piece and noted on it.

Placeholder. Disclosure statement: placeholder pending editorial approval.

Who we are

Placeholder: the editors and authors will be named here before launch. No names are listed until they are confirmed.

Evidence rules

• Numbers carry units, dates and sources.
• Estimates and ranges are marked as such.
• Placeholder or illustrative data is labeled on every exhibit that uses it, and is never presented as evidence.
• Programs and claims, including our own, are held to the same standard of evidence.
