I've read this vignette somewhere, but can't find the source. Can anyone help?
The story goes something like:
If a front line worker at Toyota makes a mistake (e.g., installs a mirror incorrectly), then the worker's manager will apologize to the worker stating "If I had set up the process and environment correctly, then you would not have made that error.".
This is a vague request, but any help is appreciated. The story (if true) demonstrates a significant cultural distinction.
Thank you.
