Mulally, who took over at the nationÔÇÖs No. 2 automaker last year, said Wednesday he deeply admires the Japanese automaker for its manufacturing processes and product development strategy.

Mulally called Toyota ÔÇ£the finest machine in the world, the finest production system in the world. So we went to study with the master. I really wanted to connect with each of the manufacturers in the industry and to do it quickly,ÔÇØ said Mulally, who was hired away from aircraft maker Boeing Co. by Ford Motor Co."

And Ford (and GM) is only 50 yeas too late. The inventor of TQM, predecessor to ISO and Six Sigma, had to go to Japan for work in the 50's.

The "buy american" attitude let them get away with delivering crap for years.

What that article doesn't say is that in ten years it will be mostly Tundra's on the jobsite...that jobsite will be the dismantling of Ford plants nationwide.
