It makes me wonder what kind of quality costs are associated with being in a position to win a Deming award and why we see so few American manufacturers winning. Another possibility is that manufacturers in countries known for quality products like European countries and the US don't feel the need to apply whereas Asian countries like Thailand and India that could be perceived as inferior, use the award as a way to prove themselves to global buyers.

It seems that Indians are using this quality control as a competitive advantage over their lower quality competitors. This award is surely a great achievement that is publicizing this advantage. It is refreshing to see with economic growth India is striving not only to grow but also to do it right. However, this might mean that products produced in India will no longer be a low cost option in the global economy. I suppose if the United States wants to compete they will have to learn to implement quality control into their business practices. What an interesting article.
