Deming
W. Edwards Deming
He was an eminent scholar and teacher in American academia for more than half a century. He published hundreds of original papers, articles and books covering a wide range of interrelated subjects—from statistical variance, to systems and systems thinking, to human psychology. He was a trusted consultant to influential business leaders, powerful corporations and governments around the world. This includes inspiring and guiding the spectacular rise of Japanese industry after World War II, and the resurgence of the American automobile industry in the late 1980s.
The impact of his revolutionary ideas has been compared to those of Copernicus, Darwin and Freud.
Others have referred to him as the father of the third phase of the Industrial Revolution.
He was a visionary, whose tireless quest for the “truth” and unwavering belief in "continual improvement" led to a set of transformational theories and teachings that changed the way we think about quality, management and leadership. Throughout his career, he remained a gentleman devoted to family, supportive of colleagues and friends, and always true to his word and beliefs.

THE FOURTEEN POINTS FOR MANAGEMENT
W. Edwards Deming offered 14 key principles for management to follow for significantly improving the effectiveness of a business or organization. Many of the principles are philosophical. Others are more programmatic. All are transformative in nature. The points were first presented in his book

3. Cease dependence on

    Demian

    • 1328 Words
    • 6 Pages

    In every piece of literature there is always a sense of imagination. Now, that imagination can cause a variety of different scenarios. Some may say that the main character could look one way, but then another set of people can say that the main character looks entirely different. That’s also true with the “meaning” in some parts of the text. The only person who really knows the truth is the author, because the author obviously wrote the book. So it is up to our own imagination to determine what is, and what is not. This thought can also be applied to Demian by Hermann Hesse. Some say that Max Demian isn’t a physical reality, but only a figment of Emil Sinclair’s imagination, while others are stating that Max Demian is a physical reality.…

    Demian

    In the novel, Demian written by Herman Hesse, there are several events that lead up to the fact where Max Demian, one of the main characters, was an imaginary figure. Emil Sinclair, an additional main character, has a troubled relationship with Franz Kromer, who acted like a bully to Emil Sinclair. Since Sinclair could not pay back Franz Kromer, he was forced to become Kromer’s slave. He offered Kromer a silver watch which was broken, and a compass, but Kromer had denied the offer. Now, every time Kromer needed anything he whistled to signal Sinclair to do whatever Kromer wanted him to do. As the days passed Sinclair was getting sick of Kromer’s demands, and soon all of his misery came to an end as he met a boy named Max Demian. Max Demian had helped Sinclair overcome his dilemma with Kromer with just one conversation with him. Kromer is frightened as he sees Sinclair; “When he saw me he flinched, his face twitched and he turned away so as to avoid meeting me” (35). Why would Kromer flinch as he saw Sinclair? There is only one good explanation for that. As Kromer saw Sinclair he flinched and twitched, as if he saw Max Demian instead of Emil Sinclair. Usually Sinclair was the person to flinch when he saw Kromer, but this time it was vice versa. After Franz Kromer had a chat with Demian, he had felt fear whenever he saw Sinclair.…
