To me, Demings' major contribution is "On Quality." Reading it and taking it to heart is how the Japanese cleaned Detroit's clock in the 70s.
And here it is, 2021, and Detroit never learned a damned thing.
Actually, they have gotten better - not everywhere for sure, but interesting quality stuff (like the all-electric For F-150) is showing up.
DonтАЩt get me started on what Ford did to my beloved Ranger.
Did you see the video of the electric F-150 pulling 10 train cars loaded with 42 other F-150s 1,000 feet without putting on a strain? Driven by the woman engineer who led the electric F-150 project.
ItтАЩs terrific. IтАЩm excited about electric trucks. But they made the Ranger so big and dumb for no apparent reason.
And then the Japanese darn near went bankrupt and had one heck of a time trying to pull themselves back.
