A little tidbit, post WWII, the Americans sent some of our best process engineers to Japan to teach what would become "lean" processing and six sigma. The Japanese mastered the techniques which have led to Japan being a leader in technology and eventually the automotive industry.
These techniques have been taught in the US (again) for decades but they have never been fully implemented by the US auto industry.
