Now, if they have to clean the carbon out of every machine periodically, then they have to shut each one down on some kind of schedule. (BTW... I realize thatr this is only going to be the case until the modification to enable continuous cleaning get invented AND implemented).
A workflow is an equation made up of variables in formulas. By definition, variables change.
Time is a complex variable in a workflow. To maximize profits from every machine, there needs to be a workflow defined that minimizes downtime and maximizes uptime.
According to the filing, downtime resulted from failure to control feedstock quality. Therefore, the necessary management issue is to control the quality of the feedstock.
If they can control the feedstock quality and continue to take free feedstock, I imagine they will do so, but IMHO, management knows that the properly implemented workfloww system they end up having developed will probably require that they enter into contracts to supply both controlled quantities AND controlled qualities of feedstock.
The issue, then, is not whether the feedstock is free.
During the period of time when the technology itself was being invented, it mattered a great deal that feedstock be as low cost as possible, but now that they specifically note, in yesterday's filing, that they are at a business stage of transitioning from development to commercial production, it logically follows that they need to revisit the issue of whether it is actually the lowest cost business plan for them to rely on free feedstock, or whether it is better to manage the quality of the feedstock by paying for it.
If its necessary to pay for feedstock to implement a workflow that maximizes profits, then that is the proper goal.
So, with all due respect to all parties here, I think the company needs to be more concerned with the costs of quality than with whether feedstock remains FREE.
Workflow is an equation & cost of feedstock is only a single variable in that equation. It looks to me like, forcing the cost variable to stay at 0 may actually calculate out higher, all told.
Hope this helps.
