Lack of gvalueh concept in the falsified quake-residence data scandal
(Dec.3w,2005)

Mr. A: Getting information on mass media about the falsified quake-residence data by Aneha Design Office, I think the problem is basically caused by the structure of Japanese construction industry. It seems it is the problem in a totally different world from car and electric industry which have been long in the line of world market fire.

Mr. B: It is said the civil engineering and construction business in Japan the attitude of dependence on the government will hardly disappear. And the bureaucrats do not place on so much trust on privatized civil engineering and construction business that they require a lot of documented evidence for constructions. Instead the penalty is a slap on the wrist (refer to gDialogue on corrective action management problem of Japan ERI: Dec.2w, 2005h in Weekly News corner on this web-site).

Mr. A:: : As the result documents are almost false and just made for assessment (refer to gA survey on effectiveness of ISO9000s for construction sector in Japan: 2001, June, 1wh in Scenes of assessment corner on this web-site).

Mr. B: Strong requirements of cost cut by Kimura Construction Company for Aneha set off a series of the falsified quake-residence data over about seventy buildings for these several years. But cost cutting is not wrong and is required every industry including public ones.

Mr. A What a cost cutting make things worse is to separate it from quality. Both quality and cost are essentially as one. Cost is input and quality is output. If you separate them and pursuit only cost cutting, it easily results in getting what you pay for. To think as one is equal to gvalueh concept (refer to gLack of value concept in comments on the recent JR West accident: May.3w, 2005h in Social problem relating ISO9001 corner of this web-site).

Mr. B: In the background there has been cost cutting concept without gvalueh concept propagated by Mr. Uchikawa, a famous consultant for business hotel management for these thirty yeas. He has strongly emphasized to reduce reinforcing steel and concrete for building without referring to quality of earthquake-proof. It is like promoting a jerry-building. Nonsense!

Mr. A: As for gvalueh, I would like to talk about an ISO9001 consultant body which has put an advertisement that it can instruct to make quality manual only three pages. Recently Company S which had its consulting and got ISO9001:2000 certification phoned to me that the company has got in troubles with too many daily papers due to the certification and required my help.
On visiting the company I soon noticed the quality policy lacks commitment to comply with requirements and continually improve the effectiveness of the quality management system. It is clear that the consultant body has no gvalueh concept with neglecting precise satisfaction with 136 gshallsh.

Mr. B: ILack of gvalueh concept is everywhere. Be careful.
