I am so greatful that company like Alembic exists. This company represents what this country is capable of doing.
Bob Lutz once said:
It's part of re-educating ourselves as Americans because we have collectively as a country what I call the 'good enough syndrome. There's a view in the States that if we're too perfectionistic we're being anal.
Alembic is a prime example of how being perfectionist is contributing to their success.
I have a lot of respect for Mr. Lutz (having to work in Auto industry, you hear a lot of good stuff about him) and his approach to manufacturing.....
It's funny that I just now ran into this quote 2 1/2 years after you posted it. I cross paths with Bob Lutz fairly often. Sometimes two or three times a week. The staff area I'm in often winds up doing presentations for him on new product programs.
At one of the meetings I attend, the guy facilitating the meeting puts a list of Top 10 Quotes from the meeting at the bottom of the meeting minutes page. There's always a couple good ones from Bob.
Peace,
James
