More quotes by W. Edwards Deming
The worker is not the problem. The problem is at the top! Management!
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
You do not install knowledge.
W. Edwards Deming
Learning is not compulsory it's voluntary... But to survive, we must learn.
W. Edwards Deming
The greatest waste … is failure to use the abilities of people…to learn about their frustrations and about the contributions that they are eager to make.
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
Any manager can do well in an expanding market.
W. Edwards Deming
Management is prediction.
W. Edwards Deming
Management does not know what a system is.
W. Edwards Deming
Mere allocation of huge sums of money for quality will not bring quality.
W. Edwards Deming
Innovation comes from the producer - not from the customer.
W. Edwards Deming
You should not ask questions without knowledge.
W. Edwards Deming
A system is a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system. A system must have an aim. Without the aim, there is no system.
W. Edwards Deming
New product and new types of service are generated, not by asking the consumer, but by knowledge, imagination, innovation, risk, trial and error on the part of the producer, backed by enough capital to develop the product or service and to stay in business during the learn months of introduction.
W. Edwards Deming
Inspection with the aim of finding the bad ones and throwing them out is too late, ineffective, and costly. Quality comes not from inspection but from improvement of the process.
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
If you wait for people to come to you, you'll only get small problems. You must go and find them. The big problems are where people don't realize they have one in the first place.
W. Edwards Deming
Experience by itself teaches nothing.
W. Edwards Deming
The principles and methods for improvement are the same for service as for manufacturing. The actual application differs, of course, from one product to another, and from one type of service to another.
W. Edwards Deming
Improve quality, you automatically improve productivity.
W. Edwards Deming
