@anewsong78 That's pretty neat. Any chance you could give some insight without getting into any trouble?

@anewsong78 Makes sense. Have you ever done something like that before or know anyone who has?

@tamsyn True. Thank you for responding . I watched Founder. It was pretty good. I wonder how often it takes an extra person like Ray to take making something big after a group of people make something interesting.

@mammie5 That is really fascinating. I did not know that. Any books/resources to learn more? Additionally, do you have any good examples of people not pulling a Ford and losing out? I was reading a book about Howard Hughes where in there was a guy who made a ton of factories in WW2. I cant...

@dianeuk Thank you for writing. I'm adding the concepts your mentioned to my google doc. I like the simile of them being Wonka factories in particular. Steve Jobs as Willy Wonka would make for a much more disastrous movie for sure. I'll try finding some online MOOCS and courses with detailed...

@flippo Those do help. Thank you for the recommendations. I'm adding them to the list.

@rschlap Thank you for the response and suggestions. I'll look into finding some biographies and learning more about the Toaster project. Any other recommendations?

@etainmacintosh Lean six sigma. I actually know how to do that type of math. A friend of mine educated me on it. It's actually a lot of fun. Adding your suggestion to my list! Thank you for writing.

@testinggg Thats actually pretty insightful. Doing the wiki treasure hunt sounds like a fun way to gain knowledge as well. In so far s this post is concerned, I am hoping to get a better idea for key concepts, systems, technology, experience, etc to put it all together so I can research them...

@randalthor1604 Thank you for the detailed response. This is more what I'm looking for. I'm adding the core concepts to my google doc. Also, how small of a team and budget do you think you would need to build a small factory to prove the concept?

@cami777 Thank you for the links. I appreciate he break down. I'm trying to gather all of the information to see how it is done, so this is very helpful.

I've been wondering this for a while as I read more about innovators, such as Elon Musk and Henry Ford who have made complex factories to create a product or series of products What type of team members(i.e. experience and technical skills), technology(i.e. Design, accounting, project...
