Toyota Mfg Chief Admits to More Problem in US Assembly Plants
This from the 5/23/04 USA Today:
"Toyota's North American manufacturing chief, Art Niimi, says suppliers here deliver 500 defective parts per million vs. 15 in Japan" http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/...kers-eye_x.htm Generally a factory which has a higher level of defects in it's incoming parts also ends up with more problem and/or marginal products being shipped to the end customer. It sure would be interesting to see the internal data Honda, Toyota and Nissan have on this issue. John |
