Diamond‐Star Motors: Quality from the start

Abstract

Diamond‐Star Motors is committed to producing world‐class quality automobiles. To achieve this, a new assembly plant integrates the best existing technology from its parents — Chrysler Motors and Mitsubishi Motors — and employs the latest in manufacturing methods and machinery. All workers are responsible for their own work, as well as checking work previously completed. The Japanese philosophy of Kaizen, the continuous improvement through quality circles and individual suggestions, is practised throughout the company.
