Quote from TraderZones:
No, dunce.
When a company sets their standards, it does not matter where the r&d,design or anything else is sited or which nationality of people perform it.
Toyota and Honda are Japanese companies. All remote locations follow their lead, or else the people in those sites will be replaced with people who do.
You sound like someone who cannot grasp how multinational firms operate.
You seem to think people at an Ohio plant would say, "gee - Honda designs and builds wildly successful, reliable cars. But here in America, we are going to ignore this and stamp out cruddy cars so we can be like Chrysler."
It don't work that way. Doesn't matter if Honda builds or designs in Brazil, Japan or the USA. Everything is run through a rigorous process and approved before it hits the consumer's driveway. That is the Japanese way.
Try and keep up...
you're so dumb it's laughable. i've worked in pd for multiple international companies including one of the largest in the world (>250k employees), and there is no one development or design process for the entire company. no company operates like that, idiot. the more complex the product, the more likely there WON'T be a single process because each site and even each team wants to taylor the processes to their own needs. in my last company, we had 300 r&d people in the division and there were probably a dozen different processes for product development and quality testing.
maybe at mcdonalds where you work, there's a single process for flipping burgers because of the simplicity of the product, but at complex engineering firms, it doesn't work that way.
it's so obvious from your comment you've never worked in pd.
