Management Games

  • You can learn TOC.
    • Focusing on local optimization does not contribute to overall improvement
    • Identify bottlenecks and tune there, other areas can be rather worse
      • So-called drum buffer rope
  • The difference from reality is that there is no cost to inventory.
    • You could make it cost more with mods.
    • The information industry is not burdened with inventory.
  • When money is available for lab research consumption, it looks like management.
    • Or biters mutate like a flu virus, and research efforts are needed to create corresponding antibodies.
  • The change in flasks needed when the Factorio study is completed and the next study is started and the resulting change in factory utilization and inventory is similar to a factory being forced to respond to changing market needs.
