Abstract
Consider this all‐too‐common scenario: A manufacturer, a division of a holding company, is run by the numbers. As long as the division throws off cash, corporate leaves it alone. Then the antiquated physical plant, with its high cost of quality, long lead times, and dinosaur products, screams for attention (i.e., resources). Corporate responds predictably: Improve your performance by next quarter!
