    This from the 5/23/04 USA Today:

    "Toyota's North American manufacturing chief, Art Niimi, says suppliers here
    deliver 500 defective parts per million vs. 15 in Japan"

    http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2004-05-23-carmakers-eye_x.htm

    Generally a factory which has a higher level of defects in it's incoming
    parts also ends up with more problem and/or marginal products being shipped
    to the end customer.

    It sure would be interesting to see the internal data Honda, Toyota and
    Nissan have on this issue.
