Out of Another @#%&! Crisis...A Presentation by Dr. Deming and Mike Micklewright September 15, 2010 - Minneapolis, MN
We are more in need of Dr. Deming's principles today than Japan was in the 50's. We have multiple crises hitting all at the same time and all of them can be attributed to completely ignoring what Dr. Deming taught us in the United States in the 80's and early 90's.
Dr. W. Edwards Deming, oftentimes was known as the Prophet of Quality, but many people fail to understand his impact and influence on waste reduction, the early Lean movement, and the resurgence of Japan's quality and productivity. Learn from Dr. Deming (as personified by Mike Micklewright) about his 14 Points and how, because they are principles, they are never-ending and more applicable today than ever before. Learn from Mike Micklewright how Dr. Deming would view today's business and quality world in comparison to his 14 Points and his viewpoint on today's trends in Lean, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Root Cause Analysis, and ISO 9001. Learn about Dr. Deming, the man, the prophet, and his principles and how they so much impacted the Lean movement.
