Manufacturing Village producers are small enough to incorporate new technology with minimum expense and planning. See saving money for everyone ...
Central Services maintains a technology department just to keep everyone up to date on efficiency and cost of production. Changing the technology in a company doing under $10 Million is a different animal than $100 million production line. This makes us a good place for experimenting and testing. Possibly the manufacturing villages could make money providing testing for the bigger companies.
One advantage of having many manufacturing villages serves to try new technology in one and thten transfer the tested version to the others.
