Topic - Quality: Back to Basics
It has been over a hundred years ago that Dr. Walter A. Shewhart first showed a control chart to his boss. This was the beginning of the quality movement. Shewhart directly influenced both Dr. Deming and Dr. Juran. Lately I have seen a major drift from basic quality principles. The purpose of this presentation is to study the wisdom of Shewhart, Deming and Juran. Then what is the connection with current events such as Six Sigma and AI. As quality professionals we need to be vigilant to “the drift” and go back to basics.
