A chap I worked with had worked for Ford Motorcar Co. and had gotten a
cash award for showing how they could install 2 fewer sheet metal
screws in the firewall of a Ford motorcar.

The cost of those 2 screws is not their material value but the time of
the worker who has to screw them in.

Or a combination of the two :-)

But the point was that the elimination of the screws reduced costs
sufficiently that the company saw fit to made a cash award for the
suggestion.
