>> Reducing inventory is a Good Thing and you should do it, This to me seemed like one of the most important points of the article but I am not sure how this works for a software factory. In the bread factory business what if you had an endless supply of flour and sesame seeds available to you that costs next to nothing to buy and store? Now in case of software the cost of "purchasing" and maintaining the raw material (feature requests and bugs) is much much lower than what it is for a bread factory.
