'That's a really serious issue, there, Steve. :D

It is interesting that the Japanese motor industry, which seems to garner all the kudos in this thread, was taught process improvement methods by an American business guru whose advices were being ignored by American industry untilt he great economic invasion by Japan in the 1980's. I have forgotten his name, unfortunately.'

W Edwards Deming

Studiously ignored by the US car makers and much of the rest of UK/US manufacturing until the late 1990s.
