I love it. Why is it that the result of almost any program by any
management team anywhere is the elimination of manufacturing plants and the
shift of production and engineering to China? I think it is a lesson for
us all. Lose weight and move to China!

Subject: An interesting note on quality.
Here's a little something I found in the Invensys annual report that
I
thought might be of interest to those of you on the list.
"We are aggressively applying Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma quality
improvement practices in manufacturing, project engineering,
administration
and the supply chain. During the year we cut the number of
manufacturing
plants by 22% and continued to shift production and engineering to
lower
cost countries: 20% of I/A Series(c) hardware is now produced in
China."
Bruce Henderson
Invensys Intelligent Automation Division Chief Executive
from the Invensys 2000 annual report page 29
I have a hard time reconciling sentence number one with sentences
two and
three in the above paragraph. Of course that could just mean SUN is
manufacturing in China these days. :-o
BTW if you want an Invensys annual report just go to the Invensys
web site
and e mail for one to be sent to you. It's more interesting reading
than
you might think.
Regards,
David
