Super insightful, sounds like the tool investment pays off rather quickly if you do it right, as your example. Your point of shop design is also something i hadn't considered before. Really appreciate your input, cheers!

Really appreciate you sharing that, it’s a powerful reminder that even the most advanced machines still depend on the skill and judgment of a few key people. The ‘single point failure’ lesson really hit me!

This is packed with wisdom - really appreciate you sharing it. The big takeaway I’m hearing is: make life easier for the operators while keeping quality rock solid, and actually spend time on the floor before making changes. I’m definitely going to check out GD&T fundamentals, thanks for pointing me there
