Tomos, here is summary of Mr. Deming, taken from my specialisation project and master thesis, condensed for forum:
Now, the real value is in understanding his "System of Profound Knowledge", which is the basis for application of The Fourteen Points of transformation. With its four points it advocates holistic approach: appreciation of a system, knowledge of variation, theory of knowledge and knowledge of psychology. It was way ahead of its time, since scientific management was dominant managerial approach at that time.
Tomos, here is summary of Mr. Deming, taken from my specialisation project and master thesis, condensed for forum:
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)
