More quotes by W. Edwards Deming
You can not define being exactly on time.
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
There is no substitute for knowledge.
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

W. Edwards Deming
Improve quality, you automatically improve productivity.
W. Edwards Deming
If you can't describe what you are doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing.
W. Edwards Deming
The source of innovation is freedom. All we have - new knowledge, invention - comes from freedom. Discoveries and new knowledge come from freedom. When somebody is responsible only to himself, [has] only himself to satisfy, then you'll have invention, new thought, now product, new design, new ideas.
W. Edwards Deming

W. Edwards Deming
You should not ask questions without knowledge.
W. Edwards Deming
Scrap doesn't come for free, we pay someone to make it.
W. Edwards Deming
Judging people does not help them.
W. Edwards Deming
Confusing common causes with special causes will only make things worse.
W. Edwards Deming
You can expect what you inspect.
W. Edwards Deming
Put a good person in a bad system and the bad system wins, no contest.
W. Edwards Deming
