Shoulders of Giants - Deming and Taguchi

Deming is known for introducing statistical process control (SPC) into quality control from inspection. Genichi Taguchi rounded out the total quality process by integrating quality control into the design stage. SPC was improved by employing Taguchi's methods and statistical experiments before production began. Deming's work s considered revolutionary, while Taguchi's is evolutionary. Taguchi provided approaches that helped improve products and processes at the design stage, while Deming provided management theories.

I'm going to be writing some more about Taguchi. If you have any ideas you would like to share, you know where to find me.
