What the British reporter fails to mention is that every year, Japanese companies such as Toyota give out Dr. Deming awards for merit, accomplishments and improvement. It was an American industrial engineer/statistician who taught the Japanese how to produce in high quality.

Britain fought the two world wars against Germany because the English were jealous of German industrial and economic growth while British industry, commerce and trading kept on declining. Liberalism is the moral rot for the collapse of British Leyland motors.

@keithnewton8981 German auto makers have always been the best in the world. No British auto maker has ever come close to competing against Germany in skilled workers, quality production, machinery, and industrial capacity to build high quality cars. You’re just bluffing.

British industry was in decline before the outbreak of WW1. Britain fought and knocked Germany out of the world markets for several decades in order to ensure its own industrial monopolies. However, by the 1980s/90s, Britain industries were still getting dismantled by Japan and the USA.

@mayurkanth6987 China is still a socialist nation. The central government heavily subsidizes skilled labor, industry and infrastructure. Lower labor costs for the unskilled does not mean better productivity. They simply get a full time job to work at and they also get subsidizes from the government.

@robertherman4746 The USSR economy relied on the export of natural resources such as oil and gas. That’s where they got most their revenue from. Why spend more on improving agriculture, manufacturing, research, infrastructure etc. when you can import all your goods from the West?

@BlackPill-pu4vi Liberalism is the moral rot behind the decline of British Leyland cars. You have management who don’t know anything about mechanical engineering or high quality industrial engineering. The workers are poorly trained and in this video are shown using sloppy tools. Japan adopted the Edward Deming method and Germany focused on top quality craftsmanship. Both countries beat the UK and US in quality car production in the 1980s and even today.

Wow! That must’ve been quite the experience selling Leyland cars back in the late 70s! Thank you for sharing your story!

The Japanese thank an American industrial engineer named Dr. Edward Deming for teaching them how to produce in high quality.
