Why do american auto manufacturers always want to set standards like japanese auto manufacturers?
just seems americans did so much better before we tried to do this.totaly different culture and way of living.and the big 3 are slowly sinking
When the Japanese entered the US auto industry with quality products the American manufacturers could not stand up to them. I think it was Theory Z or something like that where American companies applied Japanese methods to working. I wrote my sociology paper on this. I was the only one to say it just doesn't work. One because the Japanese have a throw away work force-wives are often used in times of greater need and then just not used at other times. Two Japanese have different standards of working. The proper Japanese man will work all hours to prove that he is a good worker. Three They try to raise company togetherness with morning exercises and other plans. Four The Japanese only have certain people that are allowed to rise to management, the peons remain the peons. None of this will work here. We're just not going for it. The best part of Theory Z was that Japanese managers were rotated so that they knew all aspects of the job. That is excellent as opposed to the bureaucratic way Americans do business. Here managers rise to the height of their incompetance. The Japanese train their managers on all aspects of the job and you are required to perform.
The big three are sinking because they have allowed union wages to rise so high that they have priced themselves out of making an excellent product. I'm all for unions but you have to remember that the job is only worth so much to the employer. While I endorse buying only American products, I have always bought Japanese autos since they stopped rusting so quick and have had excellent cars. I was so tired of cars that just had problem after problem. Want to hear about just how bad that Lincoln was or the 4 mpg I was getting and the dealer couldn't fix it? I couldn't keep it on the road and found myself standing all alone in various places quite often. I bought a Nissan truck and would have just bought another but they have lowered their standards and are now competing at an American level so I bought a Honda. Man did they ever lie about the mileage. Green rating my *ss. So I may be going American next time. Maybe that will help.
