More quotes by 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
There is very little evidence that we give a hoot about profit.
W. Edwards Deming
Stamping out fires is a lot of fun, but it is only putting things back the way they were.
W. Edwards Deming
The customer invents nothing. New products and new services come from the producer.
W. Edwards Deming
Eighty percent of American managers cannot answer with any measure of confidence these seemingly simple questions: What is my job? What in it really counts? How well am I doing?
W. Edwards Deming
It is a mistake to assume that if everybody does his job, it will be all right. The whole system may be in trouble.
W. Edwards Deming
He that would run his company on visible figures alone will in time have neither company nor figures.
W. Edwards Deming
There is no economy in having one operation produce a part and another separate the good ones from the bad ones.
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
The result of long-term relationships is better and better quality, and lower and lower costs.
W. Edwards Deming
Knowledge is the key.
W. Edwards Deming
It would be a mistake to export western management to a friendly country.
W. Edwards Deming
He that expects to quantify in dollars the gains that will accrue to a company year by year for a program for improvement of quality expounded in [Out of the Crisis] will suffer delusion. He should know before he starts that he will be able to quantify only a trivial part of the gain.
W. Edwards Deming
We are here for an education.
W. Edwards Deming
Information is not knowledge. Let's not confuse the two.
W. Edwards Deming
You cannot inspect quality into the product it is already there.
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
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
Understanding variation is the key to success in quality and business.
W. Edwards Deming
Just because you can measure everything doesn't mean that you should.
W. Edwards Deming
