Consulting case interview: meat processing optimization (w/ ex-L.E.K & Bain Consultants)

Here's a consulting mock case interview featuring a Bain Consultant and an L.E.K Consultant focusing on a meat processing plant.
🎥 The client is a fast food chain that bought a meat processing outlet to supply fresh hamburgers and other meat. The shop process is that cows enter from one end of the shop, the meat gets processed in the middle, and then the meat gets packaged and delivered at the other end. The client wants to know whether the cows should walk in or run into the processing plant.
Watch Misha Arora (ex- L.E.K Consultant) run Eishan Dhandhania (Bain Consultant) through an unusual consulting mock case interview focused on market sizing.

Is jumping into bottlenecks a good idea here? It was mentioned walk is 10 cows/hr and running is 25/hr. If the processing is 5 cows/hr then there's a bottleneck. Regardless of walking or running, your output per week is going to be affected by the slow processing. I think in this case it was assumed that the bottleneck would be walking/running but was wondering if it would be a good thing to discuss before continuing

Perhaps scaling back to 15 cows per hour, would be profitable even if fixed and variable costs remain constant with an .83 return
