big usa co have big fancy conference room called Deming but if you think like Deming you r finished.
Current Ford CEO Alan Mulally can be considered a successor of Deming as is evident from his successful management years at Boeing and at Ford thus far; the only major U.S. automotive company to not need bailout funds and who’s public image and relative sales are constantly improving.
The very best managers always seem to have engineering backgrounds strangely enough, good for me though being a EE major and all.
There certainly there are others,just listed some of the obvious relative to the bank issue and certainly toyotas deviation and troubles , 500 word min.prohibits a full list
@starview1
You fail to name the long list of right wing idiots…. convenient!
Also, Management is the problem. All these hot-shot CEO’s that have thumbed their noses at Deming over the years because THEY want to be the star who shows a big short term profit – then slither on to another company for more pay, while the company they left suffers at their mistakes!
Read up on Demings’s 14 points.
America has many folks like Dr.Deming,yet we elect some certified idiots like barney frank,edwards,pelosi.
Only in America for sure lol
I did not realize this guy was a distant relative of mine, until long after I heard of him. We descended from Wethersfield, Connecticut Puritans. I descended from John Deming and his wife, Honor Treat. It’s a small world.
this guy Edwards Deming- really outstanding and genius guy, we cant find people like this even in 100 years
thanks for the videos bud. came in handy for my research paper
Thank you for uploading this great video clip!!
Back in 1999, I ran into Alan Mulally at a shopping center here in Seattle. He was president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes at the time. I’d seen a show on PBS about the Boeing 777 project, which he was the leader of. He was really an impressive man to talk to. I even brought up W Edwards Deming! *L*
It’s interesting too that Donald Petersen (in this video, the Ford CEO at the time) is from Seattle & there is a room in our Allen Library (named for Paul Allen’s dad!) that Petersen donated.
i worked for FORD NZ from 2000-2002 then they sold the factory to a company that went under,the factory closed i lost my job and to this day i still say ford were the best company i worked for
In the video response above from “The Fog of War” Robert S. McNamara talks about how when he started working at Ford, they did not even use an accounting department – they weighed a sample of their bills, then put a dollar amount per pound of bills…
Not a big surprise that Ford was the only American car company that worked to follow Deming’s methods – and now they have the highest quality of American cars, and in the latest consumer reports – some of their models out did Toyota & Honda…
Also, Ford is in the best financial shape of all the American car companies.
the japanese cars that were hit with the sledgehammer and wrecking ball would still perform better than brand new american cars
lol demming looks like a turtle. this is really helpfull thanx!
Excellent Information.
