For all I care, it's entirely made up and I am not even claiming any original work, here. The point is to look at this like an interesting anecdote about solving a problem, and that's all.

This sort of thing happens every day. The people on the floor realise just how stupid and pig ignorant management is, but you can't tell them that cause, first of all you'll get fired, but also because it doesn't really matter, as *their* boss still thinks its a *fantastic* solution and thats all that matters. Once the money is spent, its extremely difficult to tell people they did a stupid thing.

Interesting though. I don't know if the Japanese version is the real true or not, but I found a link with a very similar text posted on 2007. http://www.indusladies.com/forums/sundays-with-varalotti/8050-hard-work-vs-smart-work.html I also watched a movie where a guy claims that it happened in a big multinational company's factory in Valinhos. The story he tells is very similar, including the $8M spent... Looks like a “urban legend” kind of story… Interesting though.

Nice anecdote. That said.. How did a worker get annoyed at the bells (caused by the scales picking up defective product) if the scales never picked up a defected product in the first three weeks? Cute nonetheless, and well delivered. Though I'd also laugh at the company that spent $8M installing production-slowing precision scales, even if there were no easier solution. Hm. Nice anecdote.
