I'm grasping with how you do something on a large scale with multiple operations and not have quality decrease.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The first truth for special operations is that quality is more important than quantity.
Practice quality, and you get better at quality. But quality takes time, so by working solely on quality, you end up losing something else that's important - speed.
Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing... layout, processes, and procedures.
Sometimes it's more difficult to achieve a 10% cost reduction than it is to tell people they have to achieve 50%. Small incremental steps block your view of doing something fundamentally different.
Success means your options multiply. Size increases complexity, and complexity can confuse vision.
It's easy to assume that just because you make something in small volumes, not using many tools, that there is integrity and care - that is a false assumption.
There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.
If you don't understand how to run an efficient operation, new machinery will just give you new problems of operation and maintenance. The sure way to increase productivity is to better administrate man and machine.
In some industry markets, high quality can be tied to making more money, but I am sure by now all of us know the computer industry is not like that.
One must strike the right balance between speed and quality.
