<VV> Quaility

[RoboMan91324 at aol.com]

Yes Ron.  His name was Dr. W. Edwards Deming and today  there is what is 
called "The Deming Award" for advancements in  quality.
 
I am not sure if you can say it was devised in the USA if the  person who 
came up with the concept was basically laughed out of the country for  his 
"insane" ideas before perfecting them.  Yes, the Japanese embraced his  ideas and 
were patient enough to work with him to perfect his concepts and  implement 
them.  US manufacturers opened their minds to his concepts only  after losing 
large chunks of market share here and abroad.  Also, it wasn't  just the 
automotive markets where we were hurt badly.

It's woth noting that the very successful Japanese  quality control system 
that beat Detroit so badly was devised in the U.S. by  an American and firmly 
rejected by all of the U.S. auto companies before the  Japanese embraced it.
