Where do you see bottlenecks developing?
How important is quality control?
What is the current backlog?
Is the product assembly line based or individually customized?
What are the health and safety concerns in producing this product?
Who are your suppliers and how long have they been in business?
How many sources of suppliers are there?
Currently, are there any shortages in components?
How old is your company’s equipment?
What is the yearly maintenance costs?

I recommend you get a little notebook and start working on each question. For those you cannot answer a specific question, stop do some research, find the answer and make a note.

This is also an invaluable exercise if you are already in business, it can help you clarify where you are today and help you plot where you need to get too and how to do it.
