Another way of looking at this story:

It took $8 million to take a problem that was only visible to the sales department -- empty boxes are hurting our image! -- and make it visible to the stakeholders who had the right insight to actually fix it -- the people on the production line.

That is it cost $8 million to move the pain point to the "right" spot.
