Does the change only affect specific processes or a market? Are these the least competitive processes? Are these the most competitive processes? What is the trend in the volume of the affected market? Step 1: Identifying the scale and time horizon of the studied change     Step 2:   Market delimitation                       only specific            processes                                                a market is               affected   Step 3: Identifying the market trend          rapidly decreasing                           stable or              increasing Step 4:   Identifying Production constraints            Step 5: Identifying the process most sensitive to a change    in demand       No        No Yes                   Yes Figure 4.1 Decision tree outlining the 5-step procedure for identifying the processes affected by a change in demand for a specific intermediate product. Please se the text for detailed explanations. *) For long term changes, the volume relates to production capacity, while for short term changes it relates to output within the existing capacity, see also the text. The identified processes are the affected ones List the processes that are able to increase their production volume* as a result of the change The identified processes are the affected ones Scale and time horizon of the studied change List the processes that are able to reduce their production volume* as a result of the change
