May 22, 2025 – ASQ 1128 & 1114 Sponsored Event– The Red Bead Experiment
Details: Deming’s Red Bead Experiment 2.0! Everyone Plays!

Dr. Deming created the Red Bead Experiment back in the late 1950’s/early 1960’s to show then management’s behaviors to process knowledge.  You can view Dr. Deming doing the experiment here:  https://youtu.be/7pXu0qxtWPg?si=ZRawzWghTnNmW49T
I don’t want to repeat the exact experiment.  We are a bit smarter these days. Now that “data science” exists, we will provide historical context behind data collection, how Dr. Deming showed how management “fooled” us on understanding processes, and discuss the best way to present data. Hopefully it visualizes our path to Quality 4.0.  Oh, and everyone gets to “dip a paddle!”
