  A guide to the Deming philosophy of quality management. W. Edwards Deming is acknowledged as the founder of TQM as we know it today. The author explains his philosophy, including the famous 14 principles and shows how the Deming method evolved into a comprehensive tool for quality management which is being practised world-wide today. The book shows how Japan first embraced and developed the philosophy, and how the US and others quickly followed suit once it became clear how successful the method could be. It shows how the system works, how it has been successful in many different countries and organizations and how it can be applied in virtually any business context today.

  This book is about a comprehensive philosophy for management and the man who devised it. It aims to be a management tool for building quality into products, in order to increase productivity and attain a more favourable competitive position. The book explains how the Deming philosophy evolved, and how the West, exposed to it in it's embryonic form during World War II, failed to recognize, as Japan did, its importance for economic development. It shows how the Japanese implemented the philosophy and how their success has influenced companies in the West to adopt it as a working principle.
