Editor's Notes

  • #8: The road to Continuous Improvement requires leadership that is guided by Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge. This knowledge empowers a leader with the responsibility to implement a mindset of ongoing improvement. This theory says that the success of the whole organization is dependent on the leaders’ capability to orchestrate the delicate balance of each component, in order to optimize the whole system. Management or leader should orchestrate the implementation of the system of profound knowledge.
  • #14: Theory of knowledge is how we learn things. Applied in Continuous Improvement methods, it is important to gain knowledge about the process through data of variation, whether variation is common-cause of special-cause. This knowledge dramatically affects decisions and direct improvement actions. A signal indicating that a variation is special caused warrants an investigation as to what occurred for a specific data point. However, when variation is common-caused and the desired result is not obtained, something needs to be done differently within the process, to improve it.
  • #15: Variation is the signal to do or not do something on the process. No two things are exactly alike, not people, not processes. Processes vary because of its variation. Variation is a natural occurrence, and is inherent in life. The goal of continuous improvement is to reduce the range of variation over time, in addition to adjust the process level to the desired state.
  • #16: Variation is the signal to do or not do something on the process. No two things are exactly alike, not people, not processes. Processes vary because of its variation. Variation is a natural occurrence, and is inherent in life. The goal of continuous improvement is to reduce the range of variation over time, in addition to adjust the process level to the desired state.
  • #17: Variation is the signal to do or not do something on the process. No two things are exactly alike, not people, not processes. Processes vary because of its variation. Variation is a natural occurrence, and is inherent in life. The goal of continuous improvement is to reduce the range of variation over time, in addition to adjust the process level to the desired state.
  • #18: Knowledge of Psychology is important in the system in order to know what motivates people. The leader that serves the people with vision and guidance to see the interconnectedness of the whole system can empower the people to share ownership identity. People are born with intrinsic motivation. Motivation is driven by peoples’ needs. Maslow’s principle established a hierarchy of needs…..
  • #19: Though people are in a state of want all the time, according to Maslow’s theory, what they want is a function of the pattern of need satisfaction in the hierarchy. They can start out with lofty aspirations relative to love, esteem, and self-actualization, but be driven to more basic needs if those more basic needs become unsatisfied. As the lower-level needs are relatively satisfied, they become less directly motivating for behavior. One is motivated mainly by the next level of unsatisfied need. Since all managers attempt to influence human behavior, they must consider what needs are relatively unsatisfied, and hence can serve as levers for motivation.
  • #23: This methodology, designed by Dr. Deming, sustains the organizations’ transformation to continuous improvement. It points out that the organization and the individual worker must work together, as a team, for a constant improvement of whatever they do.
  • #28: Innovation without Continuous Improvement deteriorates after a while from what should be the standard.
