The executive thought process:
"If I make them use a cheaper part, and multiply the 42 cents saved per
part by the number of trucks produced in a year, then I get the amount of
money I've saved the company through 'good management', minus expected
costs in higher warranty repairs, is still a net savings, which equals a
big bonus for me."
No brainer, indeed.
