Subject: [CR]Production Standards and Quality

One time I was in a factory near Osaka that was producing TIG welded mountain bike frames.

Each welders would weld different portions of a frame and then pass the frame along to the next welder until it was completely done.

I asked the owner, in English, how the factory handled quality control. Without waiting for a translation, the owner very slowly pointed to each of the workers in turn, fully answering my question.
