Have you ever heard of the concept of TOTAL PROCESS IMPROVEMENT? I have feeling you have never heard of it or the concept of how it came about and how it applies in this case. I am not going to provide you an education on this, as I have said before I do not like spoon feeding others. But I will give you an idea to think about, large companies do not focus on specifics, they look at outcomes and they look for profitability, I will give Exxon credit because at least they figured it out to place money into someone who specializes in this industry instead of starting from scratch. Those who have greater amounts of money available do tend to have a higher rate of success, but that does not mean they will have the best process or product.
Some of the best products out there were developed on shoe string budgets, these people were forced to come up with better processes to reach their goals, in doing so they found either cheaper, faster, or higher production processes. Efficiency is a key goal for large companies, cost eats up profits, the more cost effective a process is the more profits they make over the long term. How does that all tie into BEHL?
Quite simple really, I am sure the equipment varies little from one manufacturer to the next, from a laymen’s perspective they sure all seem to look the same. I doubt the money aspect is tied up in the equipment from each of these companies, what is more likely the differentiating factor is the process itself and the strains they grow. The company that can yield higher amounts of product for a lower price is going to be more successful. Just because a company has been doing it longer does not mean they are ahead of the game, they may actually be behind as they did not do enough research and felt practice by error was a better approach.
It seems to me that you are the one that is ignorant at this point, the supporting information for your conclusion is based upon generalized information along with poor assumptions and not specifics.
