Enjoying the reading, and bordering forgetting the point and what I said, but I was saying others effectively absorb the cost but in reality bar the paperwork pass the cost on, your two examples rightly back up your argument. However the way I see it, the idea of quality assurance schemes in any industry is to improve quality. Nearly all industries schemes, no evidence, my opinion, would be run by people that are not industry experts. Most of my fable inspectors are good young kids on first rung of ladder that have never farmed, or the other end those that have tried and failed. Back to the motor industry, and others, aim is to improve standards, they wont lose net margin, so you have volkswagen paper over cracks,lie, to meet requirements to keep price down, isolated case in emissions maybe, or only ones caught, or others will use less steel, don't offer a spare wheel, the costs are passed on somewhere in my opinionI understand that. From what I see in, say, the motor industry is that manufacturers compete, customer expectations increase and regulations on emissions, safety, traceability, environmental criterion etc. So they either step up to the plate or go the way of Michael Edwards and his Metro and square steering wheel Allegro?
