What are the stats on the following resources and sub components you are currently using:
Avian Meat - OQ/PE/DR (890~/900~/880~)
Reactive Gas - OQ/DR (998/750)
Adv. Biologicial Effect Controllers (ABEC) - charges/power (22/15)
Lokian Wild Wheat stats - OQ/PE
Tatooinian Fibreplast stats - OQ/UT
Adv. Chemical Release Duration Mechanism (ACRDM) - power (69)
Herbivore Meat stats - OQ/PE
Class 4 Liquid Petro Chem - OQ/PE
Adv. Solid Delivery Shell (ASDS) - power (68)
Dolovite Iron stats - OQ
Domesticated Oats stats - OQ/PE
These are the 5 items what govern your enhance pack. The stats marked in yellow are from my last buff pack run, made a pack of 31 charges, 896 base, 12.4k duration and med use 89. (Note I am a 12 pt Doctor, 1 extra pt used both in charges and med use for lowering)
If you prove your stats we can help you figure out why.

Meneotius, so based on your numbers, how many buffs can you do?

Do you mean how many people I can buff with a set of those or how many set did I made?

All the other advice is spot on (including selling the 'leftover' packs...didn't think of that) but I have one alternative. On Tempest therepeople are still hitting 900's when the average is like 870-885. I could hit right about 899 or 900 if I invested my BEC's like aradz does but I choose to make my BEC's 21charge/17power for a reason. Instead of maybe 50 more points on the buffs I give my customers alot more charges (usually 30 total). I've had people come back and tell me they like my stuff because of the extra charges. I may not make the highest buffs, but I, personally, would rather have charges over power. Of course this is all about what you think your customer wants and what you prefer...just thought I'd throw another perspective out there. And by no means think I'm saying mine is 'right' or whatever, just wanted to make sure you thought about each side when crafting your enhancements.
First, selling the leftover packs has provided a great boon. Little more money to help cover the cost of being a doc.
Second, I wish I could go lower on the BEC power, but I can't if I want to stay compeditive 
. Having an extra 5-10 charges a pack would lower my resource usage per buff by quite a bit, but all the docs on Radiant hit between 2200-2500 with bivoli, so that extra bit of power helps me stand out (even though you and I both know that for most PvE fighting, 2k is all you need). Going rate for a buff, even at the 2500/3h25m mark, is still only 10k-11k on our server

Those I use special 11/20 BECs on, and usually get around 31 charges without any trouble. The entertainers really like the long duration on those 
I also did a special run of Janta Long Duration packs once. They hit for around 2300, lasted 3h40m, and I sold the buffs for 13k each without trouble. Used up a bunch of 100/10 blood that was taking up space, so I could store some really nice stuff (like the set of 151/13s I just got) for later
