Dealing with problems as they arise vs handling things in a set self correcting process are process design choices and not something to be forced onto a business. That’s especially true when the process design you force fails to scale well.
I have read through the thread where you quoted @Mule1 and I found this other post:
And this got me thinking that almost every other software allow this either by default or by enabling a certain setting, not to mention large scale operations oriented ERPs. That’s not because they encourage “poor” control like many here seem to think; it’s because they realize that many times in order to scale up you have to ignore petty problems and subject them to a self correcting process. And that’s a process design liberty to be left to the user to decide.
But I see that Manager chooses to pigeonhole itself into small processes when it comes to production and that’s not a good choice if you ask me.
Why not work on those problems instead of working around them?
