It's not like there haven't been tons of books and studying done on the topic. We have an _almost_ ideal production methodology that ensures absolute quality (the Toyota Production System). I take issue with its just-in-time supply chain, but the quality factor is worth emulating, and basically any company who has has guaranteed themselves best quality outcome. So this is willfully producing a less than superior product, which, when it comes to airplanes, is basically criminally negligent since it will result in a crashing plane that kills people. Not sure how execs are so capable of dodging culpability, but I'd say the real issue is our justice system holds no one rich to account.
