Big 3 Management answers

[nuch_ss396]

The problem guys is that this is more than just a statement
about the Big 3. It is a statement about America as a whole.

This type of scenario is rampant throughout the manufacturing
communities. I just fear that it is already too late for
us as a country. The Japanese must be laughing their a$$es
off all the time. The best thing they ever did for their
own country was to bomb Pearl Harbor. Look how we rebuilt
them, then helped turn them into a world economic power.

Now, they are cleaning our clocks. How ironic is this:
Many of GM's & Ford's manufacturing facilities were turned into war product
producing plants during WWII. Some 60 years later, these
same companies are getting their clocks cleaned by the same
country they were busy helping to defeat. How sad are we?

As long as foreign countries have bee colony type work forces there is no way we as a country can compete in this lop sided world market place.The U.S better start doing as families are suppose to and take a greater interest in taking care of their own first before letting Americans depend on foreign governments to give them jobs.....It's really a disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!..

It is sad. If one of OUR top generals - MacArthur, hadnt done such an INCREDIBLE job in Japan. giving them a constitution, reorganizing their corporate structure and ecomnomy, giving women the vote.....

they'd still probably be 200 years behind us.

Who is Dr. W. Edwards Deming?

Dr. W. Edwards Deming is known as the father of the Japanese post-war industrial revival and was regarded by many as the leading quality guru in the United States. He passed on in 1993.

Trained as a statistician, his expertise was used during World War II to assist the United States in its effort to improve the quality of war materials.

He was invited to Japan at the end of World War II by Japanese industrial leaders and engineers. They asked Dr. Deming how long it would take to shift the perception of the world from the existing paradigm that Japan produced cheap, shoddy imitations to one of producing innovative quality products.

Dr. Deming told the group that if they would follow his directions, they could achieve the desired outcome in five years. Few of the leaders believed him. But they were ashamed to say so and would be embarrassed if they failed to follow his suggestions.
As Dr. Deming told it, "They surprised me and did it in four years."
