I'll show you how I think in terms of stadium building, based on lean manufacturing.
First, I'll identify what my rep will be the coming seasons:
The top one is for my Upper league team, the bottom one for my Lower league team. I assume I'll get a top 3 position each season.
The strength of the new rep system is that it is very predictable, we also know when rep changes will happen in the future. So let's introduce the concept Just in Time
What I do is that I identify the time until these rep changes occur. I'll list my rep changes for my team in the GW Vald:
Current: 7.35
Tonight: 9.27
23 days: 11.07
28 days: 12.61
51 days: 14.41
86 days: 16.03
Do you get the idea here? Lean manufacturing defines anything created before these timelines as waste. Anything created after these timelines is of course equally inefficient.
So plan ahead. If your corporate boxes are going to be filled in 28 days, you better make sure that it doesn't take 50 odd days to build them!
By the way, I totally miscalculated my own rep (I blame this post from Jakswans blog), that is why I'm way ahead of what is actually needed for my stadium right now!
Interesting logic. For me it's still hard to predict where I'm going to be in team rep next season, never mind in two! Hopefully this slows down a bit. I think that although you can maximise income from investing at the right time, you can also increase your stadium income by increasing your team reputation which needs performances which needs better players, so you can argue that building no stadium enhancements in preference to building a good team could well be a quicker means to get the larger stadium income. Dunno. :p
ReplyDeleteI hope your next post is on Six Sigma. Something I've not yet truly grasped :D
