Understanding this quote
Success in mass production depends on two goals: make the product as good as possible and make its cost as low as possible. The quote treats quality and affordability as complementary, not opposing, priorities. A product must meet a high standard while being produced cheaply enough for its selling price to fall to a minimum.
