Kudos to Mr. Foriest for taking Toyota up on their offer. When someone comes along and says "Hey, we can show you how to do your job better", most people take it as a threat. Thats my guess as to why programs like this aren't more popular. No one wants to look incompetent (though I certainly wouldn't look at it that way).
That's because it is a threat. Disruption to your current process has a cost, and there is no assurance that such a cost will be paid back anytime soon, if ever.

That is not what the word threat means.
