台灣戴明圈

(119)
周六早大停電約20分鐘我摸黑準備木瓜等
門口漆黑不過大夥10人陸續到
我先講時沒用powerpoint
講Ackoff 講 Bell Lab的複總"美國通信系統被摧毀"激發出的理想設計法和美國鋁業公司田納西州廠區大改善的工作品質之故事
來電時改由戴老師講
Peter 說故事很精彩可惜來不及錄音

Kevin送 The Economist 社論

What the world's biggest carmaker can learn from other corporate turnarounds

戴明愛智合作社連絡簿（ 59）：友情

2006/3/13 與DAVE HSU來訪。談些家常：他住在陽光山林 —我20 年前去過一次，現在據云綠數成蔭。

David 跟我談些他們的改善經驗。

我們相約每周將自己的心得寫出交換（日文「心得帖」）。

我說，產業之有心人應有三書：專業的（譬如說他對 design性能）、一般管理心得、自傳（回憶錄）

《艾略特文學論文文集》「譯者前言」中，「十七世紀玄學派詩人稱為機智（ wit）的統一體：巧妙的將思想、情感和感覺三個因素結合成一體」之說法，正是『戴明修煉 II』的主旨。

Dear Tony, 你選的『西遊記三圖：大鬧龍宮、大鬧天宮、取回真經』請參考，如果有問題請通知 . 。

英國 The Observer 周日 Sunday March 12, 2006 的 Simon Caulkin 專欄談企業界經常被管理潮流 `之空話迷思所惑（ Bosses in love with claptrap and blinded by ideologies ）

他引 Deming 說如果太刻板重視目標之追求，常常會不惜一切但求達標、犧牲一切

Incentives do incentivise - but be careful what you wish for. As W Edwards Deming said, people with sharp enough targets will probably meet them even if they have to destroy the company to do so. And what about change or die?The trouble, they say, is that companies are so bad at it that 'empirically it is change and die'.

（ claptrap noun [U] INFORMAL DISAPPROVING
foolish, meaningless talk which should not be believed:
Don't believe a word of what he says. It's just a load of claptrap. ）

王大哥：

陳寬仁老師今天來我處閒聊數小時。我們覺得王大哥的退休紀念會（ CSQ）勢在必行。所以請你選一時間（因為七月你可能赴美）。其他由我與林公負責。

現在最優先的是王老師要說 YES，然後發動，請考慮一下。

弟

漢清敬上

下周三晚 CSQ討論中原授 Kano 先生榮譽博士之先前作業。

狩野紀昭　教授（Prof. Noriaki Kano, 民國95年3月23日）

　　狩野紀昭教授因其豐富的著述與精闢的卓見，公認為當今品質管理大師，他所提出的『魅力品質』概念與『二維品質模式』，不僅為知識經濟時代提供新的思維方式，同時也在全球品質管理競相致力創新，從追求『顯客滿意』轉而尋求『顅客喜愛』之際，提供新的突破途徑。
　　
　四十年來，狩野教授參與無數全球性、區域性及國際性合作方案，積極投入品質管理原理和實務的推廣與傳播，貢獻甚鉅。基於對亞洲土地與人民的深切關懷，狩野教授近年來多方奔走，促成『亞洲品質網絡』組織於2002年正式成立開始運作。
　
　　特別令人感佩的是：狩野教授和夫人富人道關懷情操，熱情接待異邦遠客，本校學子也有數人受惠。狩野教授夫婦人道關懷的具體實踐，少有人能與之比擬。
　
　　狩野教授在學術上的輝煌成就，品管專業的卓越貢獻，以及在人道關懷的長期實踐，在在具體展現中原大學全人教育的精神，足為本校全體師生的學習標竿。
　
　　中原大學本基督愛世之忱建校，秉持全人教育理念投入高等教育。一路走來，不覺已過五十載，值此光輝時刻，頒授名譽工學博士學位予狩野教授，正是我們至大無比的光榮。

讀狄更斯『德魯德疑案』（ The Mystery of Edwin Drood (unfinished) (1870) ，項星耀譯）首章注解：狄更斯在這章的寫作要點曾寫道：「接觸到主旨：『惡人若回頭 …..』」

聖公會早晚禱都用此開頭：「 ……惡人若回頭離開所行的惡、行正直與合理的事、他的靈魂即可得救。」

（這可能就是 W. E. Deming 每天之禱詞）

以西結書 Ezekiel

18:27 [hb5] 再者、惡人若回頭離開所行的惡、行正直與合理的事、他必將性命救活了．

[lb5] 再者，惡人若回轉離開他所行的惡，而行公平正義的事，他就會將性命救活。

[nb5] 還有，惡人若回轉離開他所行的惡，行正直公義的事，他就可以使自己的性命存活。

[asv] Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

[kjv] Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

[bbe] Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul.

官兄的12月/05/2010 會議必須趕怪補"辦法"
他要我更"amnitious "去邀國外訪客
我昨晚已去信給 Orsini 教授 (FORHDAM大學)
不知道邀飛學界人方便否

我鼓勵參加者將他還記得得任何小事都記下來分享
譬如說我第一次知道戴老師會說溫州家鄉話

《胡適之先生晚年談話錄》

這《胡適之先生晚年談話錄》沒索引很不方便
譬如說多次談到溫州話胡適之先生以為它很雅譬如說茶疲了等

胡頌平，浙江溫州人，

他是前中華民國中央研究院院長胡適1958年至1962年去世前的秘書。胡頌平編過《胡適之先生譜長編初稿》.....

Equifinality is the principle that in open systems a given end state can be reached by many potential means. The term is due to Ludwig von Bertalanffy, the founder of General Systems Theory. He prefers this term, in contrast to "goal", in describing complex systems' similar or convergent behavior. It emphasizes that the same end state may be achieved via many different paths or trajectories. In closed systems, a direct cause-and-effect relationship exists between the initial condition and the final state of the system: When a computer's 'on' switch is pushed, the system powers up. Open systems (such as biological and social systems), however, operate quite differently. The idea of equifinality suggests that similar results may be achieved with different initial conditions and in many different ways. ^[1]
In business, equifinality implies that firms may establish similar competitive advantages based on substantially different competencies.
In psychology, equifinality refers to how different early experiences in life (e.g., parental divorce, physical abuse, parental substance abuse) can lead to similar outcomes (e.g., childhood depression). In other words, there are many different early experiences that can lead to the same psychological disorder.
In archaeology, equifinality refers to how different historical processes may lead to a similar outcome or social formation. For example, the development of agriculture or the bow and arrow occurred independently in many different areas of the world, yet for different reasons and through different historical trajectories. Highlights that generalizations based on cross-cultural comparisons cannot uncritically be made.
In geomorphology, the term equifinality indicates that similar landforms might arise as a result of quite different sets of processes.
In environmental modeling studies, and especially in hydrological modeling, two models are equifinal if they lead to an equally acceptable or behavioral representation of the observed natural processes. It is a key concept to assess how uncertain hydrological predictions are.
