Abstract

The dominance of the consumer electronics, steel, automotive, semiconductor, and computer industries by Japan is largely attributed to the manufacture by Japanese firms of products of consistent quality. Thus, quality control is the key to effective competition in the international market. An actual difference in cost effectiveness will result when manufacturable designs are produced in tightly controlled processes.
