Creating Customer Value

Our customers should take joy in our products and services.

Profit in business comes from repeat customers, customers that boast about your project or service, and that bring friends with them.  >>>

Process, Productivity, Efficiency, Quality

All anyone asks for is a chance to work with pride.

Put a good person in a bad system and the bad system wins, no contest.

Quality is everyone's responsibility.

You can not inspect quality into the product; it is already there.

Hold everybody accountable? Ridiculous!

The emphasis should be on why we do a job.

A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without the aim, there is no system.

It is important that an aim never be defined in terms of activity or methods. It must always relate directly to how life is better for everyone... The aim of the system must be clear to everyone in the system. The aim must include plans for the future. The aim is a value judgment.

We should work on our process, not the outcome of our processes.

If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing.

Rational behavior requires theory. Reactive behavior requires only reflex action.

It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.

Whenever there is fear, you will get wrong figures.

When a system is stable, telling the worker about mistakes is only tampering.

  

 

William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900 – December 20, 1993) was an American statistician, professor, author, lecturer, and consultant. He is best known for his work in Japan. There, from 1950 onward he taught top management how to improve design and  service, product quality, testing and sales.

Deming made a significant contribution to Japan's later reputation for innovative high-quality products and its economic power. He is regarded as having had more impact upon Japanese manufacturing and business than any other individual not of Japanese heritage.
