- 2177: In Search Of Excellence
- ... them like adults. The excellent companies allowed for some chaos in return for quick action and regular experimentation. They simply persisted. Over-commitment on reliability by Caterpillar (forty-eight hour parts service anywhere in the world or Cat pays) or Maytag (ten years trouble-free operation) makes no sense.
