More quotes by W. Edwards Deming
When a worker has reached a stable state, further training will not help him.
W. Edwards Deming
Nobody goes to work to do a bad job.
W. Edwards Deming
Without theory there is nothing to modify or learn.
W. Edwards Deming
You should not ask questions without knowledge.
W. Edwards Deming
The most important figures for management of any organization are unknown and unknowable.
W. Edwards Deming
Now, we learn that a system must have an aim. Without an aim, there is no system.
W. Edwards Deming
You must not run your Organization as a functional hierarchy. You must understand it as a System.
W. Edwards Deming
Experience by itself teaches nothing... Without theory, experience has no meaning. Without theory, one has no questions to ask. Hence, without theory, there is no learning.
W. Edwards Deming
The only useful function of a statistician is to make predictions, and thus to provide a basis for action.
W. Edwards Deming
You can only elevate individual performance by elevating that of the entire system.
W. Edwards Deming
Without questions, there is no learning.
W. Edwards Deming
Nobody should try to use data unless he has collected data.
W. Edwards Deming
A system must be managed. It will not manage itself. Left to themselves in the Western world, components become selfish, competitive. We cannot afford the destructive effect of competition.
W. Edwards Deming
A manager of people needs to understand that all people are different. This is not ranking people. He needs to understand that the performance of anyone is governed largely by the system that he works in, the responsibility of management.
W. Edwards Deming
To successfully respond to the myriad of changes that shake the world, transformation into a new style of management is required. The route to take is what I call profound knowledge, knowledge for leadership of transformation.
W. Edwards Deming
Management by results is confusing special causes with common causes.
W. Edwards Deming
One need not be eminent in any part of profound knowledge in order to understand it and to apply it. The various segments of the system of profound knowledge cannot be separated. They interact with each other. For example knowledge about psychology is incomplete without knowledge of variation.
W. Edwards Deming
Learning is not compulsory it's voluntary... But to survive, we must learn.
W. Edwards Deming
Long-term commitment to new learning and new philosophy is required of any management that seeks transformation. The timid and the fainthearted, and the people that expect quick results, are doomed to disappointment.
W. Edwards Deming
A goal without a method is nonsense.
W. Edwards Deming
