Default RE: Ricers Taking Over

The funny(not haha) thing is, Japan's quality methodology, the Kaizen events and all that good stuff, was brought to the American companies back in the 50's or 60's. I can't remember. I know Jeremiah knows what I am talking about as he posted here before about it. But the American companies were too arrogant and basically said we don't need this as people will buy American. Well they guy who came up with the idea, took it to Japan, where they accepted it and improved on it. Now, a lot of Companies here started using this methodology just recently. My last company used it, my current company does as well. If you are in the technical field and are looking at employment ads and you see the terms Black Belt or Yellow Belt for a tech job, they are referring to this quality procedure. I have been trained as a yellow belt.
