#deming — Public Fediverse posts

Excerpts from The Deming Library Volume XXI, Dr. W. Edwards #Deming Dr. Russell Ackoff and David Langford demonstrate that educators can begin a quality transformation by developing an understanding of the properties and powers of systems-oriented thinking...

You guys would like the Japanese approach which I've read is exactly what you describe. W Edwards Deming describes it in his books. https://deming.org/books/

The Leader's Handbook Study Series

https://www.in2in.org/shop/p/the-leadership-handbook-study-series

In his forward to the Leader’s Handbook Ackoff offers a format to study the book which we will follow in these sessions:

“I suggest a small group of managers or students of #management read each chapter separately but simultaneously, and then gather to discuss what they have read. They should discuss what they agree with, what they disagree with, and, most important, how what they have read will affect their behavior...

This old Coca-Cola #mural had a similar refresh many years ago. Last year the business owner decided the Coca-Cola company should pay him to keep the mural up. They declined, so the jerk painted over the mural. The last time I looked, what used to be beautiful vintage #art was just a sad empty bulletin board.

#murals #Deming #NewMexico

I love these old brick advertisement #murals in downtime #Deming #NewMexico. This is one that's currently being freshened up by a local artist, I took the photo several years ago.

While slapping fresh paint on old #art isn't quite "preservation", it's preferable to what happened to another mural in town...

@realn2s

Here are a bunch of quotes from W. Edward #Deming
Many have sources. I don't think your quote is included though.

https://management-quotes.net/authors/W._Edwards_Deming

Just learned an Edwards #Deming #Quote

A student complained to him that he only told what needed to be done but not how to do it.

To which Demming replied:
"So, I should not only teach you but also do your job"

(I haven't found a definite source yet. If you have one, please share)

My belief is Deming’s ideas work extremely well in a #SoftwareDevelopment context. The main issue is often unlearning some assumptions that people might have about what the #Deming #management system is.

... many “knowledge workers” respect Deming’s ideas but then say his attempts to treat factory workers as thoughtful people who should be respected and involved in improving their processes doesn’t make sense for them because they are “knowledge workers.”

Always an excellent gift option: "What would Deming do?" - the handy book with #Deming quotes!
https://www.redforty2.com/product-page/what-would-deming-do

#TIL there's a nice "starting point" for anyone unfamiliar with the work of #Deming and particularly how it relates to #Manufacturing , #SoftwareEngineering , #SystemThinking and most of all #devops ( #sre )

#ComplexityWranglers may also want to hand this out to newcomers.

I see that agile is very consistent with Deming. Agile has all sorts of variants, so to different extents, they fit in. But one of the things I find really interesting is the agile folks, and of course the lean software folks, they much more than any other group of people I’ve seen traced the #agile ideas back to find Deming’s ideas.

So it seems to me many of the leading agile and lean folks have tracked it back to #Deming and then incorporated some Deming’s thinking...

John Willis interviewed me for his Profound podcast series

https://management.curiouscatblog.net/2022/02/18/profound-podcast-john-hunter-curious-cat/

“Dr. #Deming ’s personal aim was to advance commerce, prosperity and peace.” I also mentioned that I have seen software developers, more than any other group, seek out the original source of management ideas...

“... teaching of beginners should be done by a master, not by a hack.” W. Edwards #Deming, #OutOfTheCrisis

“Rules have to be made in advance, for use in the future. Any rule, as a practical matter, must be constructed in the absence of full information about the future.” W. Edwards #Deming, #OutOfTheCrisis

“Experience without theory teaches nothing. In fact, experience cannot even be recorded unless there is some theory, however crude, that leads to a hypothesis and a system by which to catalog observations. Sometimes only a hunch, right or wrong, is sufficient theory to lead to useful observation.” W. Edwards #Deming, #OutOfTheCrisis

“A fault in the interpretation of observations, seen everywhere, is to suppose that every event (defect, mistake, accident) is attributable to someone (usually the one nearest at hand), or is related to some special event. The fact is that most troubles with service and production lie in the system.” W. Edwards #Deming, #OutOfTheCrisis

"Practically all of our major corporations were started by technical men—inventors, mechanics, engineers, and chemists, who had a sincere interest in quality of products. Now these companies are largely run by men interested in profit, not product. Their pride is in the P & L statement or stock report."

“What an organization needs is not just good people; it needs people that are improving with education.” W. Edwards #Deming, #OutOfTheCrisis

“The possibility of pride of workmanship means more to the production worker than gymnasiums, tennis courts, and recreation areas. Give the work force a chance to work with pride, and the 3 percent that apparently don’t care will erode itself by peer pressure.” W. Edwards #Deming, #OutOfTheCrisis

Couldnt get a clear grip on your interests from your feed, so came here to say this too. Also markets ( #invisibleHand - theory of moral sentiments, and the wealth of nations) , #qualityControl, and #openBSD, I reckon. I'm delving these at the moment and it's super interesting. Also Enterprise Resource Planning software suites (specifically #ERP5 but it might prove too deep for my delving ability) and sometimes #cybernetics (which goes back to #mathematical #complexity and #communicationTheory ).
