This book analyzes the quality assurance systems of 11 high-technology companies in the 1980s, exploring how corporate culture and external pressures shape these systems. Traditionally, the US focused on quantity over quality, leading to a decline in American goods' reputation for reliability and workmanship. However, increasing international competition and the high standards demanded by the Defense Department have forced companies to prioritize quality improvement. The author emphasizes the critical role of corporate culture in implementing successful quality assurance programs, particularly management's willingness to foster a partnership with employees and encourage their input. The book also highlights the importance of adapting quality systems to the specific industry and production process, whether assembly or fabrication-heavy. Overall, this book provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing American companies in the global marketplace and emphasizes the significance of quality as a key factor in long-term competitiveness and economic viability.
