Tracing the origins of manufacturing...

Today, for the first time in a while, we had four meetings at Eco Village, including a ground-breaking ceremony!
It gives you a great sense of accomplishment.
Today's topic is "Tracing the origins of manufacturing..."
However, I decided to write this just recently when I was in the US
It all started when I had a conversation with the president of a building materials company.
This president is using American building materials that he believes to be superior.
They are imported and sold, but he said, "High-performance sashes are also sold in the United States.
In the end, the machines used to make them often come from Germany."
And
"This can be said about manufacturing in general, but when you look at names,
Today, it is very common for Americans to have German roots.
There are a lot of them," he said.
As I wrote in my blog yesterday, Germany is ahead of the rest when it comes to car manufacturing technology.
I think it's still the best in the world. Maybe the direction is a little different.
Maybe, but I think Japan is comparable.
The Great East Japan Earthquake destroyed most of the parts industry, known as the supply chain.
It also became famous that it was in Japan.
If you open up the popular Apple products now, you'll find parts made in Japan.
It is said to be used in large quantities.
Japan may not be good at making things as versatile as the iPhone.
However, when it comes to detailed and steady technical skills, they are probably the best in the world.
When it comes to electrical appliances, they are constantly evolving and can be combined in many ways.
I think it is a big deal. However, when it comes to automobiles, there are many mechanical parts.
There are an incredible number of parts involved, so it's not something that can be easily replicated.
In addition, it appeals to the senses, such as ride comfort and driving pleasure.
There are many areas that require a very high level of accumulation.
In that sense, the number of products a country makes can be used as an indicator of its manufacturing technology.
I think looking at the level of the car is a pretty good way to look at it.
Both the Japanese and Germans have a national character of being extremely meticulous and detailed when it comes to other countries.
Or rather, there is something like a culture.
If we trace the origins of manufacturing, we may come across Japan and Germany.
I think about it.
