Before we look at the works or the teachings of Edwards Deming, let's quickly look at his life. 2
Dr. Deming was that Ph.D in Mathematical Physics and he worked in Western Electric. 3
He was a professor of statistics and he taught Quality Control to Japanese in 1950. 4
So when in 1950 the Japanese industry was suffering. 5
Dr. Deming was invited to teach about the quality, about the statistics in Japan. At that time 6
Dr. Deming and Juran was also later invited to improve the industry in Japan. 7
So 1950 he started working in Japan and just after 8
around a year Japan established the Deming prize on his name. So any industry, any company who is 9
doing good in the field of quality was given Demming prize and Deming prize was an honour to the works 10
of Demming which he did to improve the quality of Japanese industry. 11
So after working for a long time improving the Japanese quality. 12
Dr Deming gave an interview to NBC and the title of that interview was if Japan 13
can why can't we. 14
And this was basically focused on US industry telling them that if Japan who was destroyed by war. 15
If they can do that if they can take their quality level to such a height why can't American industry 16
do that. 17
So if you are interested in this interview you can find this interview on YouTube. 18
So this was a brief introduction to Dr. Deming. 19
On next slide let's look at some of his teachings.
