And where did Mr Deming teach and introduce his theories and systems when NA businesses told him to go pound salt?
Hakone Convention Center in Tokyo, August 1950. MacArthur got him into Japan in '47.
I'm 63 so your talking to a guy who started out working when the US still had an industrial base. I worked a number of manufacturing jobs including "the line" at Chrysler. Ended up as a Supervisor at a plant making polystyrene stuff. Took a number of management courses where Deming came up, as well as Frederick Winslow Taylor, whom I'm sure you know.
Realized the writing was on the wall about careers in making things and got out and got into finance.
Many have been raised to a legendary status by a generation that have more often than not never even sat in one much less drove it. Yes, yes I know there are some that have but it is not this minority that have perpetuated the legends but the kids that grew up wanting one because it was the coolest in that movie or video game.
Yep, and some variant of that probably extends to chariotsback in Roman times too. In cars, at least 100 years now... Stutz Bearcat...
