Opportunity cost
Processing is not free revenue
The direct-sale value is the opportunity cost of feeding a production point. A chain creates value only when processed output, after operating and distribution costs, is worth more than the raw input.
Capacity and time can be the real constraint. Run each link separately when a chain has several stages, then compare the slowest stage with your seasonal input volume.
