Production chain throughput (Theory of Constraints)

In the real world there is this thing called the Theory of Constraints, which is at the heart of this game. In essence, in order to optimise a system of production one needs to know the different inputs/outputs at the different stages of production, what their theoretical unconstraint production levels are, what their constraint production profile is.
So to the game, wouldn't it be cool to have a view based on resource as to what the constraint and unconstraint production levels are and in turn where do you need to expand/contract your factory to balance it.
The simple view at a point in time would be, based on point in time installed capacity, what are the total current demands on resources (with/without current unity boost), what are the theoretical resource outputs (not quite sure how you'd do mining given waste movement), what level are current outputs, whether there is therefore a bottleneck in the process (starved or choked). Add onto that some views of variation over time.
