I have more experience in small-midsize Japanese manufacturers 35~45 years ago than here, but a critical aspect of Deming's work, cited often, was that employee buy-in for total quality processes was considered essential.
I remember hearing at a seminar that the Japanes "mistake proofing" system originally had a different name. From Wikipedia:
====================
Etymology
Poka-yoke was originally baka-yoke, but as this means "fool-proofing" (or "idiot-proofing") the name was changed to the milder poka-yoke.[4] Poka-yoke is derived from poka o yokeru (ポカを避ける), a term in shogi that means avoiding an unthinkably bad move.
====================
Supposedly the name was changed when one female employee complained about "baka-joke" saying essentially "That's insulting! I'm not a fool!"
