There are a lot of variables here but the first thing I would look at is your circulation matrix matchpoint weights. Those determine how much weight a given policy is calculated for.
For example in a local regional consortium maybe you have something like this: Miskatonic University checks out books for 3 weeks with 2 renewals Arkham Public checks out books for 2 weeks with 4 renewals They put a lot of weight on the org unit part of the policy, that way they're sure their policy will take effect when the circulation match points are evaluated.
