Synopsis
Deming Management at Work250 (Hardcover) by Mary Walton

From Library Journal
In her earlier The Deming Management Method (Putnam, 1986), Walton examined the principles of W. Edwards Deming that had revitalized Japanese industry. Now, she looks at the Deming method as applied at Florida Power & Light, Hospital Corporation of America, Tri-Cities Tennessee, Bridgestone (USA), Globe Metallurgical, and the U.S. Navy. Similar to Andrea Gabor's The Man Who Discovered Quality ( LJ 9/15/90), Walton's book discusses fewer cases in greater depth. Either book would be a good addition to business collections. Like The Deming Management Method, Aguayo's book covers Deming's 14 points of management but contains more analysis of how those ideas can be put to use. Both present Deming's theories clearly, but if Walton's book is not already owned, Aguayo's would be the best choice. A comprehensive business collection may want all four books, but small collections can limit themselves to one each on the practical and theoretical approaches to Deming's method.

Hardcover. First printing [stated]. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 249, [3] p. Illustrations. Index. Mary Walton has written four previous works of nonfiction. For twenty-two years, until 1994, she was a reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer, where she wrote more than a hundred magazine stories as a staff writer for the Sunday Inquirer magazine. She has also written for the New York Times, Washingtonian, the Washington Monthly and the American Journalism Review. From Wikipedia: William Edwards Deming (October 14, 1900 December 20, 1993) was an American engineer, statistician, professor, author, lecturer, and management consultant. In his book The New Economics for Industry, Government, and Education, Deming championed Statistical Process Control, Operational Definitions, which had evolved into PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act). Deming is best known for his work in Japan after WWII, particularly his work with the leaders of Japanese industry. That work began in August 1950 when Deming delivered a seminal speech on what he called Statistical Product Quality Administration. Very good in very good dust jacket. DJ has slight wear and soiling.
