Hey all , well unlike many i dont have a systematic mind. Meaning i have trouble organizing and doing things properly (setting up systems for components and structurs) so... i have trouble keeping organized and often missing components/notenuff/runout..
Anyone have a nice system going to always have a flow of factories running.
If so plz subit your System of operations.

I make components enough for 1 run of each type of mining unit I want to make and store them. Batches of Gen Turbines and SSSMs in thousands. Then I run my factories (3 of them) making structurals and walls 24/7 when they are not being used for anything else. I just make sure I have sufficient stocks of resources for anything I might need at the drop of a hat, that means Ore in the millions and grind metal of around 1 million, as well as the HQ stuff plus Lube oil, Copper, Alu, Gas in the hundreds of ks.
Is that a system ?

I run 2 factories and make harvester deeds in batches of 10-20 usually.
This is my "system"...
step 1 gather materialsand make schematics: I gather the materials to make a 1000 generator turbines and enough steel for 1000 small structure storage modules. I will then use those parts for as long as I can so that I minimalize having to scrap and remake harvester deeds. I also buy grind ore and metals in an ongoing basis so I can make walls. Lastly I have a good stock of steel and grind inert gas and lub oil to make mining components.
step 2 turbines and SSSMs: First I'll run off 100-200 generator turbines in Factory A and let them sit in the output hopper. I'll also run off 100-200 small structure storage modules in Factory B and let them sit in the output hopper.
step 3: structure modules I then run a full 1000 structure modules in both factory A and factory B, I do that over night since it takes a while.
step 4 : walls and mining parts Then I'll put all 2000 of the structure modules into factory A and make walls. At the same time I'll put a mining component schematic into Factory B and make 20-40 of the mining parts. I'll usually do this overnight cause either step can take a while.
step 5: harvester deeds If I don't have a harvester deed schematic made then this is when I'd do it now that I've got all the subparts made. I'll gather all the sub parts into one or both factory and run off all the deeds that I need.
If I'm out of any schematics then repeat starting at step 1.
If I'm out of turbines or SSSM's then repeat starting at step 2.
If I've got the needed component materials / schematics and turbine, SSSM parts then repeat from step 3.

i kinda do what pawlin says.
i usually make 1000 SSSM, about 1000 turbines.
i usually do 1000 walls at a time then start using them and when i get to about 300 left i start doing SM again and walls.
though im thinking of having SM going on 1 factory 24 7 atleast.
overall i usually only keep turbines and SSSM in large quantities. i make the other sub componets in usually when i need them.
