During my tenure as Project Manager, I have often seen an obsessive dream of the Quality departmetns to try and implement Japanese Quality Concepts such as Six Sigma, Kaizen or TQM. Most of the efforts at implementing these faced stiff resistance from the employees and also had an impact on the overall productivity of the teams without too much of added value in terms of quality. Now I work in Japan and have first hand experience of how these are implemented and my views on these quality concepts are very different now. I have captured my observations on this blog: https://ramadvice.wordpress.com/2016/05/22...ality-concepts/

What are your views on this? Do you guys concur with this analysis or do you view things differently?
