The Windows of HGS

There are more than 250 decorative stained glass windows in the Hall of Graduate Studies crafted by G. Owen Bonawit and his New York firm. Many windows represent various disciplines in the Graduate School curriculum. The McDougal Common Room windows feature the Natural Sciences and Engineering, while the HGS Dining hall depicts the Arts and Humanities. Some are versions of historic woodcut prints housed at Yale, while others are more fanciful modern designs by the artists. They blend the ancient and the modern as a model for graduate education.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Columbia Business School's W. Edwards Deming Center for Quality, Productivity and Competitiveness awarded Ellen Kullman, chair and CEO of DuPont with the Deming Cup in a ceremony at Columbia University's Low Memorial Library in New York City on Tuesday, Oct. 28.

The Deming Cup is an annual prize, awarded for the first time in 2010, recognizing world leaders who make outstanding contributions in operational excellence and foster continuous cultural improvements in their organization.

"I am deeply honored to receive the Deming Cup in recognition of the outstanding work done by the global team at DuPont," said Kullman. "One of the Deming Principles especially pertinent to what we have been doing at DuPont since I became CEO is Principle 14: Put everybody in the company to work to accomplish transformation. DuPont has successfully transformed several times since its founding in 1802 by connecting science to the marketplace. We do this through disciplined execution, which makes innovation possible."

Nelson M. Fraiman, director of the W. Edwards Deming Center for Quality, Productivity and Competitiveness and professor of professional practice at Columbia Business School, said, "The Deming Cup is awarded to leaders who embody the true spirit of W. Edwards Deming. It recognizes the type of leader who builds a business based on strong values and a long-term vision while at the same time cultivating an environment of operational excellence and developing a collaborative, forward-thinking culture."

The Deming Cup's judging committee was led by co-chairs Terry Lundgren, chairman, president and CEO, Macy's Inc. (2012 Deming Cup winner); Sergio Marchionne, chairman and CEO, Chrysler Group LLC, CEO of Fiat SpA (2011 Deming Cup winner); and Paul H. O'Neill, 72nd secretary of the U.S. Treasury and former director and chairman of Alcoa.

DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

Walter A. Shewhart, Philip Crosby

這篇ASQ的品管先賢文章有點扯：將 Walter A. Shewhart和 Philip Crosby 兩人硬湊起來。他們 在此BLOG和Wikipedia 都有資料。


Deming

On receiving his PhD, Deming was offered a job at the Western Electric Company, where he had worked summers, but chose instead to enter government service. The first of what would prove to be three careers, which lasted until 1939, was in the Fixed Nitrogen Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. There, the study of the physical properties of materials led him into statistics via the theories of measurement errors and least squares that he encountered in this work. This was, he asserted, a "natural progression of interests." His path was also influenced by surveying and geodesy, where least squares methods were also used, and the kinetic theory of gases, from which he learned a lot of probability.

Mind Your Elders

QUALITY HAS A RICH HISTORY AND BODY OF KNOWLEDGE.

August 5, 2015

While there is no possible way to fit the entire history of quality in one column (or 20), the following is an attempt to bring some of the ideas and people of yesteryear to our minds today. In the case of quality, many great minds have butted heads and collaborated to develop methods and tools and—most importantly—utilized them for real world results.

Philip Crosby's Four Absolutes of Quality Management Quality is defined as conformance to requirements, not as “goodness” or “elegance.” The system for causing quality is prevention, not appraisal. The performance standard must be zero defects, not “that’s close enough.” The measurement of quality is the price of nonconformance, not indices.

“Assignable causes of variation may be found and eliminated.” — Walter A. Shewhart

We begin with Walter Shewhart. Often referred to as the father of statistical quality control, Shewhart is as important to the quality community as Joseph Juran and W. Edwards Deming, although not always top of mind when thinking of “quality gurus.” Perhaps it is because Shewhart was first in line.

Through his work at Western Electric (1918-1925) and Bell Telephone Laboratories (1925-1956), and lectures at several universities worldwide, Shewhart developed ideas that blended statistics, engineering, and economics. While at the Western Electric Hawthorne Plant (Cicero, IL), Shewhart worked with W. Edwards Deming and Joseph Juran, who championed and expanded Shewhart’s ideas.

In May 1924, Shewhart introduced the control chart. Shewhart believed statistical theory could benefit industry and demonstrated how this occurs. The control chart is still an essential tool today.

Shewhart is also known for introducing plan-do-check-act. Deming championed this model (also plan-do-study-act), which is also referred to as the Deming cycle, but it was Shewhart who was there in the beginning, developing this important quality control method.

“Why spend all this time finding, fixing and fighting when you could have prevented the problem in the first place?”— Philip Crosby

While Shewhart was finishing his career at Bell, a young quality professional was developing terminology management could understand, ushering in the quality revolution in the United States and Europe.

Philip Crosby worked on the assembly line. He saw the waste being produced and the defects needing rework. He knew organizations needed to reduce both and he understood it was upper management that needed to lead the change in philosophy. As a best-selling author, Crosby introduced business leaders to the concepts of cost of poor quality and zero defects.

Zero defects is a theory that describes a systematic means of eliminating waste and reducing defects. However, the use of the words zero and defects caused some controversy. Of course, controversy is rarely bad for an idea, and zero defects became a popular concept in quality management and an important component of Six Sigma methodology.

Cost of poor quality forced management to change their thinking from shipping product to adopting systems and processes that would eliminate waste, reduce defects, and—this is the main selling point—increase profit. As you can imagine, this resonated with the manufacturing sector but Crosby saw the same idea being applicable in service, government, and education. “Doing it right the first time” is a phrase leaders across the country use whether it’s in a factory, restaurant, or Little League. 

Through the work and accomplishments of Walter Shewhart, Philip Crosby, and their disciples, quality has a rich history and body of knowledge. As you improve a process, eliminate waste, and reduce defects, think about how these concepts came into practice and what else you can learn with a little bit of research.
