Just another point that should be committed to every managers memory.
Deming's 14 points for management:
- Create constancy of purpose toward improvement of a product and/or a service with plans to become competitive, stay in business, and provide jobs.
- Adopt the new philosophy. We are in a new economic age. We can no longer live with commonly accepted levels of delays, mistakes, defective materials, and defective workmanship.
- Cease dependence on mass inspection. Require, instead, statistical evidence that quality is built in to eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis.
- End the practice of awarding the business on the basis of price tag. Instead, depend on meaningful measures of quality, along with price. Move towards a single supplier for any one item, based on the long-term relationship of loyalty and trust.
- Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to improve quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease costs.
- Institute modern methods of training.
- Institute modern methods of supervision.
- Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company.
- Break down organizational barriers - everyone must work as a team to foresee and solve problems
- Eliminate arbitrary numerical goals, posters, and slogans for the workforce which seek new levels of productivity without providing methods
- Eliminate work standards and numerical quotas.
- Remove barriers that rob employees of their pride of workmanship
- Institute a vigorous program of education and training
- Create a structure that will push the preceding 13 points every day.
