I once attended a presentation by a representative from Texas
Instruments.  One person in the audience asked why TI had set up a chip
assembly line in Japan.  The TI person answered that TI tried to make
the same chip here in the USA and had a very high failure rate.  Then
TI set up an an assembly line in Japan that uses Japanese labor and was
able to successfully make the chip.
