Adamant manager - what will you do?

What will you do if your manager do not listen to your good suggestions and be absolutely adamant towards an inefficient process? Blame him for everything.
That may be the case for me in some other day. But today somehow I didn’t get frustrated. This fine morning I shoot a nicely formatted process improvement suggestion regarding a crap system which takes good 50 days to do a job worth of 5 minutes. I believe I did a good job in communicating the problem. But my manager turned it down on my face giving reasons which I am still trying to understand, (if there is any on earth). He even squarely blamed my old onsite managers for this state of affairs. What I feel is a pure blame game between onsite and offshore managers.

This is a typical scenario for an IT project. What should I do now? Stay quiet and do nothing, get de-motivated and enjoy the donkeys’ work. Or get motivated and apply your all enegery to convince these guys to come and see what the ground realities are. Somehow today I choose the latter one.
