I notice your numbers use commas instead of periods. Is this something that is REQUIRED or could we use the standard decimalization such as 46.60?-Stephen66515 (October 26, 2014, 04:55 PM)
Deming was way too conceptual, compared to other quality philosophers of that time, especially Juran and populist Crosby. ...Yes, well, like Deming said, "...what he was telling us about was actually very simple, but that it seemed hard to understand as a lot of it seemed to go against conventional wisdom - what we had been taught or indoctrinated with - and so was difficult to accept/internalise."-Attronarch (February 20, 2014, 11:31 AM)-IainB (February 20, 2014, 01:54 PM)
If one wanted to learn more about Deming and his approach to process improvement, a good place to start could well be The Deming Institute, because they seem to be focussed on Deming and are "just the facts m'am" and no BS.-IainB (February 20, 2014, 04:39 PM)
If you wanted to know what the Japanese thought (and still think) of Deming's contribution to their country and its huge economic development and success, look up the history of JUSE and The Deming Prize, and do some research on what that flower-shaped thingy is that Deming has on a sash he wears over his dinner jacket in one of the photos in that small collage in The Man.-IainB (February 20, 2014, 04:39 PM)
Hello Attronarch,
Is your thesis available for private perusal? I would like a copy of it if possible.-TaoPhoenix (February 20, 2014, 06:03 PM)
William Edwards Deming is considered to be the pioneer and the founder of the quality movement. After Second World War he was involved in planning of the Japanese Census. At that time Japanese engineers were studying Shewart's methods and techniques. Since Deming was a student of Walter Andrew Shewhart, they decided to invite him help them rebuild the Japanese economy. Deming's work in Japan resulted in Japanese factories dominating the manufacturing sector with high quality and low cost. Ironically, his methods gained recognition in United States after his death. His major contributions to the quality management field are:
- The Fourteen Points
- The Deadly Diseases
- The System of Profound Knowledge
- Deming Wheel (PDCA is its offshot)
