Deming's 14 Point BUS 328

 Unit 1 Discussion 2: Deming's 14 Point
Six Sigma focuses on creating an organizational climate that fosters and  supports continuous improvement. Such improvement in quality begins a  chain reaction that involves fewer delays, better use of resources, and  fewer mistakes. This, in turn, results in increased market share and a  more profitable company. (Six Sigma, p. 15)
 

Dr. Edwards Deming developed a series of 14 points that serve as a guide  for management to improve all facets of an organization - from daily  operations to leadership to empowering all levels of employees.

•Consider your own place of employment or that of a friend or family  member. Briefly describe this organization and identify its core  business.
•From your point of view, analyze each of the 14 Points as they relate to your choice of organization.
•Identify the strengths and the weaknesses. How would you improve the processes in this organization?
•Which of Deming’s 14 points do you find the most interesting? Explain why you selected this particular point.
