In Reply to: Why care if it's made in China? posted by gusser on September 16, 2016 at 12:53:05:
A few years ago, I talked to an American transformer company about Chinese quality. he said that they had learned the hard way that to get good product, they has to supply the materials (wire and laminations) and also install one of their own personnel as quality manager in the actual factory. At the time, Chinese production was very prone to making good products initially, but switching to cheaper materials when not being watched.
Japanese manufacturing had similar issues before they "got religion" about quality and incorporated Deming's ideas. I remember my first transistor radio (from Japan), advertised as a six-transistor radio. I was a teen at the time, so naturally I disassembled it to see what was inside - sure enough, six transistors, but two of them had all three leads soldered to the ground plane. They were purely decorative.
