Detroit has tried to ape the Japanese in terms of assembly and assembly costs but just can't seem to pull it off. " The reasons are pretty clear. The Japanese took Demings work to heart. The American auto industry never did. Now to be fair, even the Japanese don't adhere to all of Deming's points, but they do a lot more than the American auto industry. FWIW, apparently Deming is taken seriously in the realm of software engineering. Personally I think his stuff should be mandatory in B school, but apparently it is rarely, if ever, taught. The 14 points are as follows... The 14 points. All good points but I think GM has an added problem.......the GM corporate culture. Implementing the 14 pts might help break it up but frankly, I think they should fire mgmt completely and start all over. After all, its not that GM just turns out cars that are unreliable and break down more easily but they turn out cars with designs that people don't like. Its amazing to me that over the past ten years, GM maybe has turned out one or two good looking cars. They come up with some great concept cars but they never make it to the showroom floor. ted
