I know you attended "Juran on Quality" seminars too. I really liked his approach. ---------------- For you folks that didn't get that privilege his comments:
A Ford (Pinto was the ref as I recall) is just as quality a product as might be a Mercedes if it conforms to the specification. The specifications define what category of automobile each occupies and defines the amenities and performance specification among other things. A Ford Pinto was designed to fit a niche, low cost market whereby the Mercedes may be designed for the luxury sedan market.
Another comment of his was this: Your sights for your factory's production has to be at 100% acceptance. If you are satisfied with 90% then you just built yourself a factory to build JUNK to the tune of 10% of your operations budget/profits...........makes perfect sense to shoot for 100% when you look at it like he does.
Juran was the guy who was sent to Japan during the post war reconstruction and taught that country how to build quality products.....I think they listened well. They didn't do it over night. I recall as a young lad that things with their country's marking were far from satisfactory for the intended purpose...as best I could tell with my uneducated opinion at the time.
Jess, I still have my student reference manuals.
We were ISO 9001 Certified (takes about a year of working with ISO inspectors) which proved that we as a company, followed the specifications and other requirements dictated by our customers.
Tractor companies get ISO 9001 certified too. As I recall either Branson or the parent Kukje Machine Works of S. Korea holds that honor also. The two I have attest to their capabilities.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
