Since I was not the author of the question, I may miss the answer. I found the subject very brave. Few people approach this issue directly, and I believe that a direct response is the best route. So let's do it!
The two views of the new abortion are: -when the improvement is ready and -how much it will cost.
We know from experience and theory that there is always a way to do something better, but the current issue is that the cost of implementation is worth it?
One of the constant tasks of companies is to reduce costs without affecting the quality of products and services, that is, to increase efficiency by ensuring efficacy, quality, traceability and compliance.
However, cost reduction is usually linked to cost cutting, which is rarely the case. We should not confuse wastefulness with expense, remember it is impossible to earn money without spending money.
Replacing a component of your product with a questionable quality, for example, may even help reduce the cost of production, but it will affect product compliance, customer satisfaction, and you will lose even more.
Cost reduction must be done wisely, always thinking about how to optimize the work, make it simpler and less costly, but never with the bias of who is cutting everything you see ahead.
The seccond point of view is the "time to market" or when it will be ready. In the 21st century speed is brutal. My wife has a saying: "the good deed is better than the great thing to do".
You can not study, plan, evaluate, and project something for months if the effects of the supposed changes will last only a few weeks. There is no other way here.
We must attack the solutions very objectively. A good list of quick-wins always outweighs an excellent solitary project of 06 months.
There is no more space for heroes, we are living the times of the collaborative solution and agile methodologies.
You understand this or change die!
I hope I have been useful.
