AgendaAgenda
The aim of this session is to offer insights on how W. Edwards Deming’s “new economics” has integrated the thinking of two pioneers in the field of variation management – Walter Shewhart and Genichi Taguchi. In doing so, this presentation will contrast these systemic views of variation management with those of the prevailing style of management, in both cases offering reflections on the decisions made in quality improvement efforts under guidance from the “old” and “new “ economics.

Quality is defined as conformance to requirements, not as 'goodness' nor 'elegance'.
The system for causing quality is prevention, not appraisal.
The performance standard must be Zero Defects, not 'that's close enough'.
The measurement of quality is the Price of Non-conformance, not indices.

Source: Quality is Free, Philip Crosby, 1979
Quality Focus: Conformance to Requirements
Goal: Defect-Free Parts Activities: Assess Non-
Conformances, Scrap and Rework
Mindset: Reactive / Victim Skills: Fire-Fighting and
Problem Solving Impact: No Improvement in
Quality After Zero Defects, Temporary Solutions
Attributes: Physical and Mental Handoffs (separation, blame)

Using Deming’s ideas, broader implications of the thinking of Dr. Taguchi have been re-examined

Thinking transformation efforts focus on a need to “manage variation”, not “reduce variation” “manage costs”, not “reduce costs” “manage resources”, not “reduce resources” “continuous investment”, not “continuous
improvement”

Taguchi Methods – Taguchi Methods – Three Stages of DesignThree Stages of Design
1. Concept Selection (System Design) – define the product or process technology
2. Parameter Design – given levels of input (process or product) variation and average, define the “best” value for each input average (the “target”)
3. Tertiary Design – given levels of input (process or product) variation and a preferred average for each, define the “best” variation level for each input
