Good man. We need a few more.
William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900-December 20, 1993) was an American
statistician, college professor, author, lecturer, and consultant. Deming is
widely credited with improving production in the United States during World
War II, although 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)[1] through various methods, including the application of
statistical methods. Deming made a significant contribution to Japan's later
renown 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 beginning to win widespread
recognition in the U.S. at the time of his death. THAT WAS A SHAME!
