Steve Jobs on Manufacturing

Jobs treats manufacturing as part of disciplined execution, not a separate goal: the right strategy, people, and culture should drive operations, including logistics, manufacturing, and distribution. He also says Apple should use the best tools available so engineers can work faster and more effectively.

“If you get the right strategy, if you have the right people, and if you have the right culture at your company”
“We are focusing most of our energy not on financial re-engineering”
“We love Octane.”
