^^ very much true. Sa 8 hours, ilang oras ba nagiging productive ang empleyado?

OT: Ano ang Filipino word for "efficiency"?

and they work longer hours. and you house them in dormitories onsite so you can wake them up in the middle of the night to work on rush orders

One former executive described how the company relied upon a Chinese factory to revamp iPhone manufacturing just weeks before the device was due on shelves. Apple had redesigned the iPhone’s screen at the last minute, forcing an assembly line overhaul. New screens began arriving at the plant near midnight.

A foreman immediately roused 8,000 workers inside the company’s dormitories, according to the executive. Each employee was given a biscuit and a cup of tea, guided to a workstation and within half an hour started a 12-hour shift fitting glass screens into beveled frames. Within 96 hours, the plant was producing over 10,000 iPhones a day.

China advantage

Another critical advantage for Apple was that China provided engineers at a scale the United States could not match. Apple’s executives had estimated that about 8,700 industrial engineers were needed to oversee and guide the 200,000 assembly-line workers eventually involved in manufacturing iPhones. The company’s analysts had forecast it would take as long as nine months to find that many qualified engineers in the United States.

In China, it took 15 days.

The onsite dorms are not just dorms, they are practically small towns. The company compound includes schools, day-care, hospitals, food canteens, shopping stores, etc. Basically everything that the worker would need to be productive.
