    The speed of the conveyor belt does not impact the cycle time. No you cannot fucking slow down the conveyor belt to make it so you can work slower. You can’t speed it up to make people work faster. The speed of the fucking conveyor belt determines how long the things stay on the fucking conveyor belt. If it’s too slow things just stack up on it

    Sorry, fucking line workers, managers, and executives in a factory…

      An analogy to thinking faster conveyers means faster production is thinking faster speed limits on the highways leads to higher reproduction rates (or faster graduation or whatever).

      One thing it will affect is how long a part takes to go from initial production to release. But there’s a trade-off with how many products are “in fight” at once.
