A lot of the metaphors we use to describe businesses and describe software engineering come from the idea of a factory. So they tend to come from factory optimization. So lean, agile, a lot of that stuff was very steeped in Deming. And Deming was doing factory optimization. And so when we talk about it, the metaphors we use very frequently are similar to the ideas we use in factory optimization.
