NUMMI - or what General Motors learnt from Toyota and then took too long to implement
This American Life had an interesting two part audio series on the General Motors Fremont plant in California. This was General Motor's worst plant. Then as part of a joint venture with Toyota the work force was sent to Japan to learn how to make Toyota cars. The plant turned around so much that in the end the cars they were making exceeded the quality of Japanese cars.

Not sure what's put on top at the end, some type of chili or XO sauce?

5. Add the frozen veggies (optional. I hate peas)

Australia's simplest Portfolio (VAS + VGS) - What they're not telling you
Invest in Super first, then make sure you also have a diversified portfolio with defensive investments. VGS does not cover emerging markets either. A200 and IOZ both have lower fees than VAS. So, keep the majority of the portfolio in Super, the portion outside Super should be diversified across stocks, the stock component should include access to the fast growing emerging markets and VAS should probably be replaced by A200 because of the lower management fees.
