How W. Edwards Deming Brought the Quality Revolution to America...

The Man Who Discovered Quality

"In an entirely fresh take on school reform, business journalist and bestselling author Andrea Gabor argues that Bill Gates, Eli Broad, and other leaders of the prevailing education-reform movement have borrowed all the wrong lessons from the business world. After the Education Wars explains how the market-based measures and carrot-and-stick incentives informing today's reforms are out of sync with the nurturing culture that good schools foster and--contrary to popular belief--at odds with the best practices of thriving twenty-first-century companies as well." -- Amazon.

How W. Edwards Deming Brought the Quality Revolution to America : the Stories of Ford, Xerox, and GM

The Man who Discovered Quality

Before Americans were learning how to do business from the Japanese, the Japanese were learning from an American--a brilliant iconoclast named W. Edwards Deming, whose Fourteen Point philosophy for managing quality is largely responsible for that country's economic triumph. That philosophy, its charismatic inventor, and the story of its adoption by American companies like Ford, General Motors, Nashua Corporation, and Xerox are profiled in this immensely readable, well-researched book. Clearly and incisively, The Man Who Discovered Quality beckons us away from number-crunching and management by objective toward customer satisfaction, constant improvement of every management process, and ongoing employee involvement. The result is a front-line report on the revolution that changed "quality" from a hip buzzword into a science.
