In 1651, George Herbert wrote these compelling words:
For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.For want of a shoe, the horse was lost.For want of a horse, the rider was lost.For want of a rider, the message was lost.For want of a message, the battle was lost.For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost.
The 21st century is here and we have failed to take full notice! What is a nail that can endure the test of time?

- What if (in the first place) the nail was stronger and tougher than the horseshoe?
- What is a nail of exact dimension, but tougher in the quality specification?
- Where is the better quality blueprint?
- When does the addition of manganese to steel make it tougher?
- How can Heat Treatment of metals be used to alter the physical property of a metal to make it stronger?
- How is Rockwell Hardness Testing used to determine the hardness of a metal?
- When is Tensile Testing used to understand the behavior and strength of metals?
- Why do you use Quality Control and Root Cause Analysis to determine exact specifications and faults?
- Why is quality-in-total; total quality values; Total Quality blueprints, policies, procedures, and guidelines beneficial to the nail, shoe, horse, rider, and kingdom in advance?
