    Not even that. For example if there are 10 assembly lines in parallel that the slowest step takes 60 seconds, you still get a phone each 6 seconds

      I was considering parallel processes in the same facility as a single production line in this case, as the article seems to consider the production mentioned as a single line…but yes, if it is indeed split between multiple lines producing the phones entirely and in parallel that is the case.
