So if it doesn't require an "Army" what does the population of the parking lot have anything to do with the ability to produce? The answer is nothing.
A properly efficient setup would result in significantly reduced workforce correct? So the whole "parking lot" crap that keeps getting spewed is ridiculous and solely for the purposes of causing trouble.
You used an interesting word in your previous post, ill quote it:
Quoted from vid1900:You can "state" anything, but "somebody" has to populate those playfields. What vendor would be more efficient that your own factory in populating them? Who, other than Stern could do it better, faster, cheaper?
A business outsources things they can't do better, faster or cheaper themselves.
The word cheaper keeps coming up. Every company strives to save money but some are not willing to risk their product on "Cheap". So you are correct there may be companies that can do a better job of building wire harnesses or X or Y and the end result is a modularized game that needs but a few hands and a few hours to assemble. So again a "parking lot" full of bodies is not necessary.
2 of my datacenters are run very differently. I have one with 24,000 servers. All come mostly pre-configured from HP. CPU's, Memory, Etc, all pre-populated and only Drives and I/O cards get added. 24,000 servers. 2 employees. They even ship racked.
The second of my datacenters uses whiteboxes. This one with 16,000 servers. Everything built by hand. The whiteboxes are significantly cheaper. SIGNIFICANTLY, but there are 85 people staffed in that DC. One parking lot is full the other isn't yet the first one is MUCH more efficient and the direction we are moving going forward. Building everything yourself may be cheaper but it doesn't always wield the best results.
Since you are a manufacturing efficiency expert you should know this? Why keep pointing out irrelevance.
