Process is about HOW you do things.
Product is about WHAT you make.
I do think that both are necessary but taken to the extreme as you see in Japan and US doesn’t lead to any easy reconciliation.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoThey definitely took it to extremes. The problem is that it’s a 100-year-old company, that has been making top-shelf optical equipment, costing many thousands of dollars, for that entire time. They have an awesome and undeniable track record. It was pretty much impossible to get these (highly accomplished and talented) engineers to accept that their way (hardware and some firmware) would not work on software. It usually ended up with them, labeling my efforts to introduce flexibility as some variant of “lazy, bad-quality engineering.” Hard sell. https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/concrete-galoshes/ https://littlegreenviper.com/miscellany/concrete-galoshes/
