Deming Philosophy

We have found the "Deming Philosophy" to be a great way to create and implement Team Working into any size company. It certainly get's everyone thinking and working together for the improvement of the company and the employees themselves on how to bring continous and constant improvement to how things are done. The objective being to bring more efficiency, job satisfaction and security so that the  company, employees and  customers benefit.

William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900 – December 20, 1993) was an American statistician, professor, author, lecturer, and consultant. He is perhaps best known for his work in Japan. There, from 1950 onward, he taught top management how to improve design (and thus service), product quality, testing and sales (the last through global markets) through various methods, including the application of statistical methods.

Deming made a significant contribution to Japan's later reputation for innovative high-quality products and its economic power. He is regarded as having had more impact upon Japanese manufacturing and business than any other individual not of Japanese heritage. Despite being considered something of a hero in Japan, he was only just beginning to win widespread recognition in the U.S. at the time of his death.

The philosophy of W. Edwards Deming has been summarized as follows:

Dr. W. Edwards Deming taught that by adopting appropriate principles of management, organizations can increase quality and simultaneously reduce costs (by reducing waste, rework, staff attrition and litigation while increasing customer loyalty). The key is to practice continual improvement and think of manufacturing as a system, not as bits and pieces." 

In the 1970s, Dr. Deming's philosophy was summarized by some of his Japanese proponents as “when people and organizations focus primarily on quality, defined by the following ratio, quality tends to increase and costs fall over time”.
