The Deming Circle is also known as: = PDCA - The Deming Cycle = This cycle of "Plan - Do - Check - Act" is also known as the Control Circle, or PDCA. It was named after W Edwards Deming, noted for his process improvement methodologies which were better understood in Japan, than America. The Toyota Production System (aka Lean Methodoloy) is a result of his influence in Japan after WWII. Deming told Ford that management actions were responsible for 85% of all problems in developing better cars. The following year resulted in the inception of Ford's best-selling Taurus-Sable product line. Deming attributed the Control Circle to fellow Statistician, Walter A Shewhart. Project Management, ITIL and Six Sigma Plus quality management are all influenced by W Edwards Deming and his notable PDCA Cycle. His other noted works include Deming System of Profound Knowledge, 14 Points for Business Mgmt Transformation and Seven Deadly Diseases (wastes). All have a significant commentary on business transformation and quality today. His basic tenet is that management, not the worker is responsible for the majority of failure of quality and production. He advocated the abolishment of worker quotas and merit reviews for quantity and quality measurement. He advocated for continual process improvement (kaizen) over statistical sampling to improve quality.
