4. BS2914 Quality Management & Customer Care 3: TQM Gurus [1] W.Edwards Deming Pre-war rooted in Statistical Process Control (particularly work of Shewhart) Sources of variation (in manufacturing AND in non- manufacturing) should distinguish: Special causes (e.g. change of operator) Common causes (e.g. design of the system itself) Engineers understood his method – but Deming was concerned that managements understood

5. BS2914 Quality Management & Customer Care 3: TQM Gurus [1] W.Edwards Deming 'Everyone doing his best is not the answer. It is first necessary that people know what to do. Drastic changes are required. The first step in the transformation is to learn how to change... Long term commitment to new learning and new philosophy is required of any management that seeks transformation. The timid and the faint-hearted, and people that expect quick results are doomed to disappointment.'

6. BS2914 Quality Management & Customer Care 3: TQM Gurus [1] W.Edwards Deming Whilst the introduction of statistical problem solving and quality techniques and computerisation and robotisation have a part to play, this is not the solution: 'Solving problems, big problems and little problems, will not halt the decline of American industry, nor will expansion in use of computers, gadgets, and robotic machinery. Benefits from massive expansion of new machinery also constitute a vain hope. Massive immediate expansion in the teaching of statistical methods to production workers is not the answer either, nor wholesale flashes of quality control circles. All these activities make their contribution, but they only prolong the life of the patient, they can not halt the decline'.
