Let's face it -- Americans are living in a business environment that is self-conscious and insecure. Companies are no longer meeting their full potential. Manufacturing and service have gone to the dogs, and the climate is one of dismay and despair. But hidden among these messages of declining levels of quality and productivity, defying the voices of doom and gloom, one man and his revolutionary approach to management stand out. Dr. W. Edwards Deming is revitalizing American industry and demonstrating through his successful clients, disciples, and advocates that corporate America in the nineties will once more be the hallmark of quality throughout the world. In this valuable resource for managers, Mary Walton offers practical applications of the highly acclaimed Deming Management Method, developed by the genius who revitalized Japanese industry. Using examples, quotations, and stories, Walton describes the method as it is used by companies and organizations from throughout the business spectrum -- large and small, from service industries to manufacturiong to local government agencies. - Back cover.
