I like to look at my factory in terms of the Theory of Constraints. Improving anything besides the bottleneck is a waste. Find the bottleneck and fix that one thing, then figure out what the new bottleneck is. Avoid creating excess inventory (buffer chests).

That the primary challenge in the game is an emergent phenomenon of producer/consumer systems is what makes it so beautiful of a game.
