Must read for managers April 6, 1997
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book was my first introduction to Dr. Deming and it changed my entire perspective on managing. His discussions of variation and systems is clear and understandable and hits the nail on the head.It is interesting reading, easy to read, and more importantly captures the essence of Dr. Demings message. No manager's book shelf should be without it.

Once in a while you run across a good book you just have to tell everyone about. When you get real lucky, you find two. I am lucky, I found two. I recommend this book and "Life and Death on the Internet" by Keith A. Schroeder. Both are valuable tools to help understand our Internet/computer connected world.
The most readable, useful intro to the depth Deming's work. December 23, 1996

Aguayo has taken great care to truly understand Dr. Demingsteachings before writing this book. He understands Deming's teachings so well that he is able to articulate them in a way that long term Deming students truly appreciate, and that those being introduced to Deming can understand. Many of the books on Deming cover the 14 points and his elements of profound knowledge in an academic way that is quite alien to most managers. I've handed Aguayo's book to probably hundreds of people now, and regardless of their education and background, they respond to it in a very profound way. One person told me that they never realized just how much they didn't know, how sheltered and narrow their views on life and managment had been, that they would never be able to look at life the same way. An excellent and useful book for anyone trying to introduce Deming to friends, co-workers and upper managers.

If you're a person who has no interest whatsoever in statistical abstractions, but wants to know more about quality and productivity, this book is for you. In plain English, Aguayo explains what Dr. Deming's philosophy is, why it works and what its' implications are.
One of the top achievements in the XX Century! December 5, 2004

The Quality is far beyond a simple theory. It is a vision of the life and how it must be lived .
There is a powerful statement of the Samurai code : Do not make anything useless.
And this is the way you get close mre and more to the essential doctrine and quality philosophy .
Deming was a pioneer in this sense, because he knew to establish patterns of behavior and systematic direction for an issue that mostly of the real artists own in his inner world .
His reading is absolutely recommended for any kind of reader .
And his presence must be a perpetuum mobile for the management no matter your discipline field is!
