Oddly enough, I just had a conversation with a business person at

brought up the Toyota model, which is apparently getting a lot of
attention and efforts to adopt it in healthcare, education, etc.

A factory may be run along agile lines, but since a factory is
1% product development and 99% product replication, and software
development has the opposite ratio, it's not a very useful metaphor
for discussing software devlepoment.
