Previously talked about Edwards Deming, we briefly looked that the life of Demming and then we 2
looked at that Deming works and we have gone into detail of 14 principles provided by Dr. Deming. 3
Now let's move on to the next big quality guru and who is Joseph Juran. 4
If we just look at the history of Joseph Juran a very brief history here. 5
Somewhere around the 1920s Juran joined Western Electric and in 1951 Juran published his quality control 6
handbook. 7
Today if you think a quality control handbook might not be a big deal. 8
But look at 1951 where quality was not really that mature a subject that Handbook has really changed 9
a lot. 10
That has led people to understand what quality means. 11
So that was the time 12
Juran has published his first hand book quality control handbook. 13
This has gone through a number of revisions and every few years you get a new version of that. 14
If you are really considering a career in quality management this is the one book which you must have. 15
Go to Amazon Dot Com and order this book. 16
This is a thick book. 17
This might cost you around let's say 18
one hundred and fifty dollars but it is absolutely worth that. 19
Just like Dr. Deming, Dr. Juran also taught Japanese about quality and that was around 1950s just in 20
the similar time line when Deming was teaching Japanese people. 21
Juran was also there teaching quality to Japanese. 22
So this was a brief history of Dr. Joseph Juran.
