We are here to make another world.
W. Edwards Deming
When a system is stable, telling the worker about mistakes is only tampering.
W. Edwards Deming
The result of long-term relationships is better and better quality, and lower and lower costs.

The emphasis should be on why we do a job.
W. Edwards Deming
Innovation comes from the producer - not from the customer.

What should be the aim of management? What is their job? Quality is the responsibility of the top people. Its origin is in the boardroom. They are the ones who decide.

W. Edwards Deming
American management thinks that they can just copy from Japan. But they don't know what to copy.
W. Edwards Deming
You can not define being exactly on time.
W. Edwards Deming
Declining productivity and quality means your unit production costs stay high but you don't have as much to sell. Your workers don't want to be paid less, so to maintain profits, you increase your prices. That's inflation.
W. Edwards Deming
Export anything to a friendly country except American management.
W. Edwards Deming
