> Or (which is afaik the default in Germany) run the fab with three 8 hour shifts per day. That seems reasonable, as long as workers have a stable schedule rather than the 'flex time' insanity that plagues many US workplaces. That said, I imagine there are productivity tradeoffs between fresher workers (esp. at end of shift) vs. more handoffs between shifts and higher headcount of both workers and managers (so more communication overhead). How does that work out in practice?
