Dr. Deming - The 5 Deadly Diseases 1984

in 1984 Dr. Deming foresaw the current economic crisis and the cause. Take a look at this video and you will learn of the "5 Deadly Diseases" that are at the heart of the problem.

Dr. Deming said, "A Transformation must take place in American industry or it will continue on the decline until the style of American management changes...and they don't know what to do. 98% don't know there is a problem or there is anything they can do."

In 30 years I have worked for over a dozen bosses. NONE of them ever used the Deming method or even knew about it. And they were all horrible managers.

My grandfather was actually taught by him! He proposed my papa to start his own quality control business! :D

He talks like a minister.

He is one of the reasons I got into Quality!

Fantastic demonstration of what is really important. Dr. Deming brought this up in the 50th... what year is it now..??... I can't see many companies applying anything of what Deming proposed.... "Unemployment is not inevitable!"

Is you are, or is you are not, also no damn stupid?

[cdawg4391]

they are based on his experience and the experiences of others. Look what he helped Japan do at the end of WWII.....and those companies still give American manufacturers a run for their money. It took an American working at a Jap. company to come up with six sigma.....the Jap. companies have a culture that promotes long-term quality. Is it any accident that a Honda will out last a Ford, GM, Chrysler any day?

[cdawg4391]

good point. It's a reality that we exist in an interdependent world.....so very rarely, unless maybe you are a Dick Proenekke, is success entirely dependent on the individual and most individuals who get recognition do so on the backs of others. Take James Taylor - great guitarist and songwriter, but would not have risen to fame if it were not for his awesome backing band (to whom he gives credit but towards whom the mainstream "drive by" media ignores).

This guy could never make it in science and so he gave a list of shitty points to gain fame. And, the big bunch of stupid followers across the world have since been worshiping him all life!

Deming- a loser. :P

You're comment is preposterous and absurd. Compared to Dr. Deming, you have the I.Q. of a carrot.

There is a cultural difference on why the team reward system does not work in American culture. America is an individualistic society where the individual is recognized. Japan on the other hand, has a collectivist culture where the group comes before the individual. Take for example, sports, where we encourage teamwork, but end up rewarding the individual. We praise Kobe, Lebron, Bird, etc. when in reality we should be praising the entire team right? This cultural difference prevents team work.
