Maybe his ideas will become more urgent in the U.S. over time. Only, it's not Paul Demming, or Paul Deming. (That guy is a musician). The person we're talking about is W. E.

A Handa, you are right, he is known everywhere around the world as one of the god fathers of quality but for some reason in USA he is not famous. I study business in Uruguay and through out my entire university life, Demming has never stopped popping up. "Los 14 Puntos de Demming" are wonderful and can be easly applied to start ups. Words of wisdom.</p> Yep. A Handa, you are right, he is known everywhere around the world as one of the god fathers of quality but for some reason in USA he is not famous.

Two of the greatest minds who have helped shaped Quality in a global industries are revered with almost god-like stature. Yet they are practically unknown in their own home soil. Peter Demming and Watts Humphrey. Demming's story actually begins from Japan in the 50s. Those were the days of shoddy quality of Japanese goods. The principles as you point above, show you the value that it created in the manufacturing industry in Japan. The other icon who did the same for the software industry is Watts Humphrey. Humphrey was the proponent of the software CMM model, which helped the Indian software industry establish the quality goals it could deliver to. It may not be a hyperbole, but for both the manufacturing and the software industry to get global acceptance, Demming and Humphrey respectively paved the way. It is also a sad reflection about how these industries have really worked in America. Not that matters anyway as whither are the factories in the US.</p> Carleen, What you discovered is probably one of America’s biggest ironies.
