Week 2
Dr. Deming’s 14 Points (graded)
Are Dr. Demings 14 Points clear, concise, and achievable? If not, what
do you think he had in mind? In Demings view, who needs to do what and why?
Quality Awards and Standards (graded)
The
authors of our text talk about the Baldrige Award throughout their book. In
previous versions, they even designed their text around this award. Given that
our course is about TQM, an in-depth discussion of the Deming Award would seem
to be appropriate. Why do I say this? If you look at the textbook, you see that
the authors state that “the Deming Prize establishes a framework for a
CWQC [Company Wide Quality Control] system” (p. 122). CWQC embodies what
we would call TQM here in the U.S.
So let’s
do some research. Put on your investigative hats and see what you can find
about the Deming Award. You can use the Internet or or any other sources you
have available.
