Join 📚 Calepes’ Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Carlos ☕️'s read, .
Solving problems, big problems and little problems, will not halt the decline of American industry, nor will expansion in use of computers, gadgets, and robotic machinery. Benefits from massive expansion of new machinery also constitute a vain hope. Massive immediate expansion in the teaching of statistical methods to production workers is not the answer either, nor wholesale flashes of quality control circles (QC-Circles). All these activities make their contribution, but they only prolong the life of the patient; they can not halt the decline. Only transformation of the American style of management, and of governmental relations with industry, can halt the decline and give American industry a chance to lead the world again.
