More quotes by W. Edwards Deming
Mere allocation of huge sums of money for quality will not bring quality.
W. Edwards Deming
It is important that an aim never be defined in terms of a specific activity or method. It must always relate to a better life for everyone.
W. Edwards Deming
Management's job is to optimize the whole system.
W. Edwards Deming
For Quality: Stamp out fires, automate, computerize, M.B.O., install merit pay, rank people, best efforts, zero defects. WRONG!!!! Missing ingredient: profound knowledge.
W. Edwards Deming
Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the work force
W. Edwards Deming
He that would run his company on visible figures alone will in time have neither company nor figures.
W. Edwards Deming
What we need to do is learn to work in the system, by which I mean that everybody, every team, every platform, every division, every component is there not for individual competitive profit or recognition, but for contribution to the system as a whole on a win-win basis.
W. Edwards Deming
Failure of management to plan for the future and to foresee problems has brought about waste of manpower, of materials, of the machine-time, of all which raise the manufacturer's cost and price that the purchaser must pay
W. Edwards Deming
People care more for themselves when they contribute to the system.
W. Edwards Deming
All anyone asks for is a chance to work with pride.
W. Edwards Deming
The process is not just the sum of its parts.
W. Edwards Deming
The biggest cost of poor quality is when your customer buys it from someone else because they didn't like yours.
W. Edwards Deming
Zero defects is a super highway going down the tube.
W. Edwards Deming
Management by results - like driving a car by looking in rear view mirror.
W. Edwards Deming
A committee appointed by the President of a company will report what the President wishes to hear. Would they dare report otherwise?.
W. Edwards Deming
Nothing happens without personal transformation.
W. Edwards Deming
You can not hear what you do not understand.
W. Edwards Deming
We are here to make another world.
W. Edwards Deming
We cannot rely on mass inspection to improve quality, though there are times when 100 percent inspection is necessary. As Harold S. Dodge said many years ago, 'You cannot inspect quality into a product.' The quality is there or it isn't by the time it's inspected.
W. Edwards Deming
A bad system will beat a good person every time.
W. Edwards Deming
