How come we cannot keep/define "specs" of how to manufacture such "mundane" objects such as a grill brush, everything from what raw materials are required, how should the assembly line(s) look like, which industrial robots or their human professional alternatives are required, etc. etc.
It just seems to me that fundamentally this is a knowledge organization problem.
Grill brush found out that the problem is chinese products are so much cheaper (without ascribing cause of that) that north american producers can only compete on native advertising (B2C) or purchasers that require a north american supply chain (B2B).
To abuse an old phrase about engineers and bridges:
“Any idiot can run a business, but it takes an MBA to run a business that barely functions.”
