You can revert to a count-based performance target, and test for compliance based on parcel weight
(e.g. a 2-inch finishing nail weighs 0.79 g; if a factory reports 1 mil units, take a random .8 kg sample, check if there's ~1k nails).
- dagw 7y agoThen the factory will just prioritize making sure all their nails weigh the same over any other consideration.
- subroutine 7y agoThey should be prioritizing count (I mentioned that was the performance metric). They actually wouldn't need to "make sure all their nails weigh the same", only that on average they weigh as much as the template. If you can't save time by using less material, and you can't save time by generating fewer units, might as well make the foundry mold match the template, no?
