Who am I?

_________ developed the Ishikawa diagram, also known as the fishbone or cause-effect diagram.  He was known for popularizing the seven basic tools of quality and the philosophy of total quality.

DR. KAORU ISHIKAWA

_________ developed his complete philosophy of management, which he encapsulated into his “fourteen points” and the “seven deadly diseases of management”.  He advanced the state of quality, originally based on work done by Shewhart with his explanations of variation, use of control charts, and his theories on knowledge, psychology and variation.

Who am I

DR. W. EDWARDS DEMING

_________ developed the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle (known as “Plan-Do-Study-Act” in some circles, as well as theories of process control and the Shewart transformation process.

Who am I ?

DR. WALTER SHEWHART

_________ developed the quality trilogy – quality planning, quality improvement, and quality control.  Quality management plans quality improvements that raise the level of performance, which then must be controlled or sustained at that level in order to start the cycle again.

Who am I ?

DR. JOSEPH M. JURAN

_________ developed lean concepts such as Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) or reduced set-up times instead of increased batch sizes, as well as Poka-Yoke (mistake proofing) to eliminate obvious opportunities for mistakes.  He also worked with Taiichi Ohno to refine Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing into an integrated manufacturing strategy, which is widely used to define the lean manufacturing used in the Toyota production system (TPS).

Who am I ?

SHIGEO SHINGO 

__________ developed the seven wastes (muda), which are used in lean to describe non-value-added activity. He developed various manufacturing improvements with Shigeo Shingo that evolved into the Toyota Production System.

Who am I ?

Taiichi Ohno

Who am I ?

_________ developed the idea of “quality is free” which asserts that implementing quality improvement pays for itself through the savings from the improvement, increased revenue from greater customer satisfaction, and the improved competitive advantage that results. He popularized “zero defects” to define the goal of a quality program as the elimination of all defects and not the reduction of defects to an acceptable quality level.

PHILIP B. CROSBY

Who am I ?

_________ developed the “Taguchi methodology” of robust design, which focused on making the design less sensitive to variation in the manufacturing process, instead of trying to control manufacturing variation.  This idea of  ”designing in quality” has become an important tenant of six sigma today

DR. GENICHI TAGUCHI

Who am I ?

_________ developed the Theory of Constraints which focuses on a single element in a process chain as having the greatest leverage for improvement (i.e., “1% can have a 99% impact”). This compares to the Pareto principle which states that 20% of the factors have an 80% effect on the process.

DR. ELIYAHU M. GOLDRATT 

Who am I ?

___________ developed the idea of total quality control based on three steps to quality consisting of quality leadership, modern quality technology, and an organizational commitment to quality.
