if the problem is people keep walking in the way of the machines, the solution is prevent them from walking in the way of the machines. Part of your process design is controlling human effects. That means both keeping them out of the machinery by limiting their required movement and reducing or eliminating decision making on the part of the human. they go hand in hand too. like that car with the mismatched body panels. the process is probably "go find a panel and install it" and the worker has to walk across the line, find a part (with the option of picking the wrong one), and then walk back and install it. The correct process is "pick up the part from the staging area next to you and install it" where the part has been pre-chosen and delivered to the worker. they don't move from their station which improves both throughput and safety and they don't pick the part themselves which improves throughput and quality.

this is why you hire process engineers

yeah as far as malls go it's pretty alright, two floors and some fairly decent stores mixed in between the ultra-wealthy poo poo, but boy does that mall have a lot of ultra-wealthy poo poo. my friend was with us this time and she'd never been and wanted to wander into this furniture store to look around. we go in and the place is like, entirely genuine Tiffany lamps and Fabergé glass... things... and there were signs everywhere saying DUE TO COPYRIGHT LAW PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ANY PHOTOS OR VIDEOS. the guy working the front gave us the dirtiest look when we walked by too lmao

if that were true we'd have fallen into the sun billions of years ago. we have enough orbital velocity that not only do we not fall into the sun, but we're millions of miles away from the sun. that's a ton of velocity, and the only way to actually reach the sun would be to cancel out most of it somehow. if you just "fly towards the sun" your orbital velocity will cause you to shoot right past it, since you're constantly moving tangentially to the direction you're trying to go.

the way stuff like the parker solar probe gets close to the sun is by looping around a big planet and using orbital slingshot shenanigans to slow it way the hell down

and like, even with that slingshot it's going to have enough velocity due to all the potential energy getting turned into kinetic energy that by the time it reaches the sun it will become the fastest manmade object ever created, by a lot, and then it'll still have enough oomph to travel all the way back out to where the earth is again.
