On the contrary. The rogue team leaving knows how to build and maintain the assembly lines, invented the metallurgy treatments, designed and built the machines, and created the supplier network themselves. Without the team, the automated manufacturing business is probably not worth nearly as much. The team can go elsewhere and repeat the feat.
- snovv_crash 10y agoNo, no they didn't. They inherited the machine, or bought it from someone else. This isn't software engineering, where people bootstrap their compilers. They signed exclusive contracts with suppliers. They designed parts which took many iterations of surface finishes and annealing schedules and tolerances to get right. Each iteration requires months of turnaround time and $€£ in manufacturing costs. Sure the team can go elsewhere. But it will take them almost as long to set it up the second time around, and almost as much money.
