"Whatever advances American manufacturing has made in the last 30 to 40 years, we owe to Joe Juran." - Peter Drucker. No one in the last hundred years has had more influence on the worldwide practice of quality in business than Dr. Juran. The roots of Six Sigma, TQM, ISO 9000, and other major quality movements can all be found in his teachings and writings. In "Architect of Quality", the man who helped invent and champion quality management systems, quality circles, and teams long before they became standard practice tells the inspiring story of his life. Juran relates a classic American tale of a Romanian immigrant who overcame dire poverty and a childhood in a tar paper shack to make a profound impact on business and society. He candidly describes his rapid success and dramatic failure in his early years at Western Electric's famed Hawthorne plant and relives his experiences working on the war effort in Washington, DC, in the '40s and then advising postwar Japan on how to rebuild itself. Juran describes how he developed the core ideas behind the quality movement that started more than 60 years ago and now finds expression in the Six Sigma quality improvement movement.
作者简介 Dr. Joseph M. Juran helped to invent the modern discipline of quality. His books and videos on quality have been read and viewed by millions of people and have been translated into 17 languages. He is the editor of Juran's Quality Handbook, now in its fifth edition, the "bible" of the quality profession since 1951. He is the founder of the Juran Institute to create new tools and techniques for promulgating his ideas.
编辑推荐 From Booklist Considered the father of quality management, Juran, 98, recounts the significant events of his life with a perspective honed by age and wisdom. He begins his story in Romania, where he was born into abject poverty, and the first part of the book traces his early years, his move to the U.S. with his family, and his education through college. He describes his early career at Western Electric and his work for the government during World War II, after which he embarked upon various efforts to teach quality principles to manufacturers worldwide. His
Quality Control Handbook, first published in 1951, became the bible for quality management. Juran lectured widely, and his numerous books, papers, training programs, and videocassettes on managing for quality distinguished him in the field. As renowned management authority Peter Drucker remarked, "Whatever advances American manufacturing has made in the last 30 to 40 years, we owe to Joe Juran."
