For smaller FCs use PF, but there is a minimum of 4 people to etablish a FC, so it's most a problem of coordination.
If you don't get enough people who help in your FC, they don't deserve level III guild buffs or airship content or everything, wihich is related to the workshop.
And if it's a too high requirement to have a level 1 crafter and just pause the daily grinding for 5 minutes to complete some prepaired crafts, then it's beyond help.
My FC has about 12 people online at any given time, usually 4-5 of which are mid to high level crafters. Except those people are *also* high level raiders, or working on another class, or hanging out with a friend, or afk reading something on the internet, etc. Getting 4 people in one place is only easy when you're in the rare FC where everyone is motivated to do company crafting. For the other 99% of us, getting 4 people in one place is difficult because company crafting is somewhere near the bottom of the list of things they want to do, usually just below "Log off and do anything else at all with my life".

If company crafting actually WAS a group activity, I could probably get more people excited about it. But right now, people don't want to be bothered to show up and stand around so someone else can push a button when there are a great many other things they could be doing with their time.
