Deming's 1950 Lecture to Japanese Management
In 1950, Dr. Deming gave a lecture to 80% of the top management people in Japan. What follows is a English translation of the original Japanese transcript. John Dowd made this happen a few years back and has agreed to share it with the Deming Community. His original cover letter inquiring about the lecture transcript is also provided.

W Edwards Deming- Life
Quality Progress, March 1994
Gone But Never Forgotten
by Brad Stratton, editor
From humble origins, W. Edwards Deming became a preeminent voice in the world quality movement.
W. Edwards Deming died Dec. 20, 1993 at his Washington, D.C. home. He was 93.
Deming might become the best-remembered figure of the 20th century associated with quality, even though he thought the chances of that were remote. According to the Associated Press, Deming once was asked how he would like to be remembered in the United States. “I probably won’t even be remembered,” he said. After a pause, he added, “Well, maybe…as someone who spent his life trying to keep America from committing suicide.”
From humble beginnings, Deming became known worldwide. In addition to his teaching on statistical subjects, he was a harsh critic of corporate management practices-especially those in the United States.

W Edwards Deming- The Three Careers

The Three Careers of W. Edwards Deming
By Michael J. Tortorella
W. Edwards Deming, the modest but outspoken man who died of cancer on December 20, 1993, was one of the world's best-known advocates for quality. He bestrode the management consulting world with a deep conviction that the solutions to our problems would be simple it we would only turn from the comfortable but ineffective attitudes of the past and embrace the concept of minimization of variation (along with all its very unfamiliar ramifications).
Deming was born 0ctober 14, 1900, in Sioux Falls, Iowa, and grew up in Powell, Wyoming. Much has been made of the influence of his frontier upbringing on his beliefs in the importance of people, the value of cooperation, and the deadliness of waste. Whatever their source, there is no doubt that these values shaped his life and work and caused him to be the bearer of a message that many of the world's religious leaders, philosophers, and advocates of positive thinking would find familiar. Do your best, continually seek to improve that best, look out for the people you are responsible for, and recognize that everyone is in this together.

W Edwards Deming- Rebuilding Japan
Rebuilding Japan With the Help of 2 Americans
8. Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) and W. Edwards Deming (1900-1993).
Rebuilding Japan
By: MARK MAGNIER
TIMES STAFF WRITER
Japan's path from post-war devastation to export powerhouse has involved many important factors, a lot of hard work and a bit of luck. But two Americans who played important parts in the world's greatest economic recovery story--a story that has altered lifestyles around the world and sent countless vehicles, VCRs and Walkmans into our homes--are Gen. Douglas MacArthur and quality guru W. Edwards Deming.
MacArthur's principal contribution as supreme commander for the Allied Powers in Japan (1945-1951)--a de facto dictator--was to break apart an outdated and ossified economic and social structure, allowing Japan's inherent creativity to blossom. "This was all very important for the development of Japan's post-war economy," said Masayoshi Tsurumi, an economics professor and financial historian at Hosei University.

Who is Dr Edwards Deming?
Dr. W. Edwards Deming is known as the father of the Japanese post-war industrial revival and was regarded by many as the leading quality guru in the United States. He passed on in 1993.
Trained as a statistician, his expertise was used during World War II to assist the United States in its effort to improve the quality of war materials.
He was invited to Japan at the end of World War II by Japanese industrial leaders and engineers. They asked Dr. Deming how long it would take to shift the perception of the world from the existing paradigm that Japan produced cheap, shoddy imitations to one of producing innovative quality products.

W. Edwards Deming
William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900–December 20, 1993) was an American statistician, college professor, author, lecturer, and consultant. Deming is widely credited with improving production in the United States during World War II, although he is perhaps best known for his work in Japan. There, from 1950 onward he taught top management how to improve design (and thus service), product quality, testing and sales (the last through global markets)[1] through various methods, including the application of statistical methods. Deming made a significant contribution to Japan's later renown for innovative high-quality products and its economic power. He is regarded as having had more impact upon Japanese manufacturing and business than any other individual not of Japanese heritage. Despite being considered something of a hero in Japan, he was only beginning to win widespread recognition in the U.S. at the time of his death. [2]
