2008年8月初從Gmail 找「趙民德」，做點網路（中日文）reputation monitoring工作，大概如下。作家的身份並輸統計學家的，所以這篇多談點「應用統計圈邊緣」：

第一名當然趙家酒店【September 24th, 2007. 行萬里，幾度舊清秋，且拈花一笑。 問世間閑情，雖長左右，更何時了？ 朝來還是青絲，貪歡需早， 漸多有華髮，情人亦老。 誰云乘風可去？…..】這是他September 24th, 2007 放在趙家酒店的八聲甘州

我自己(hc)筆記八聲甘州

第2-4名和我2007年的書介（QualityTaiwan 中文品質百科- 飄著細雪的下午（作者：趙民德，台北：九 ...第6）為；

「趙民德，國立台灣大學數學系畢業、美國加州大學柏克萊分校統計博士。在美國求學及工作多年後，1982年回 ... 雖然學的是理工，但難掩創作才華，趙民德便是這樣的作家。 ...」「名作家王鼎鈞讚譽：「詩的精緻，劇的張力，散文的鋪陳，奠定趙民德業餘小說家的地位。」

第5為他演講錄。第.3和第7是他的統計書。第9為趙民德與他的參數設計易知錄- 岳林品質大觀園

我還是喜歡他"內容充實-書舞自凌亂”的研究室，就替他省杯所外咖啡廳的咖啡錢。
我最驚訝他說自己沒什麼東西寫作了……【我最佩服Deming 八十幾歲還有驚人的創造力，這是其他”大師”無法企及的創造力品質…….】，不過，可以暢談他昔日對於李建築師的建「統計科學」館之要求（requirements）的故事。
我以為他的寫舊詩詞之能力是「家學」。他說，非也，高二時碰到好國文老師…..參考八聲甘州


趙博士在17：00時突然"雄心復出" ，跟我相約，以後有機會要認真談 Quality Handbook-- 他或許想介紹 uniform design……我跟他說些中國和Juran Quality Handbook之故事……
(參考昔日 --趙民德老師 趙家酒店 http://www.jds-online.com/blog/
1980年代初之文 (登1999)對csqc 贊賞有加)
他們邀請過吳玉印老師演講。他認為，吳老師的頭腦比Taguchi的好得多。

我們談些我們比較知情的統計學家，譬如說吳院士，以及他今年馾談工業統計學的未來，譬如說，在電腦的實驗計畫---我說ASQ有篇，不過日本panel包iscussion更了不起……。他與大陸創Uniform Design的先生有交情。

我向趙博士簡介我校 Essex 的創系老師George A. Barnard （1990-91 ASQ戴明獎），他們招待George E. Box（1988-89 ASQ戴明獎）和刁院士寫 Bayesian 領域的書。講一則J. Stuart Hunter（1985-86 ASQ戴明獎；Juran 基金會董事；Juran 品質手冊 實驗計畫 撰稿人）在Juran逝市去前數月的幽默對話。

我向趙先生說 QP 起碼有一專欄，叫 STATISTICS ROUNDTABLE 請專家介紹統計之重要方法/觀念。我向趙先生解釋，為什麼這是必要的。幾月前我就碰到某公司的品管部 對顧客的簡報中 完全不知道 BOX-WHISKER 圖的。近8年前，我到某世界級的notebook pc 製造商總部，發現他們寫6-sigma 廣告太離譜……

我們談點老年人與數學和統計，譬如說我提張忠謀（Morris Chang）說過，他已無法跟得上博士論文中的數學推演。我才知道趙先生的指導老師是位法裔數學家….

J.M. JURAN 的”品質手冊”中的統計學越來越少—多的是不入流的管理學實施。這是有趣的現象，譬如說他曾在1948年1月11日的紐約時報周日版寫過一篇簡介統計學的文章 “Statistics at Work”，當然提過 Dr. W. A. Shewhart of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, whose "Economic Control of Quality of' Manufactured ...

或許我可以逐一介紹 現在簡單說2007-08之故事：

Profit Beyond Measure: Extraordinary Results Through Attention to Work and People

這本書與我有特別情份：它是與一位英國朋友交換服務的【我寄書給他的台灣廠商；他寄這本給我】。我也與作者通過一封信—他是極知名的會計史教授，近十幾年研究豐田生產……。我在中國越南 2002-2003 給郭總和其幕僚看過。

A Story of Tunghai Deming Scholar Lectures 2008

( by Hanching Chung)

This week’s Lecture Series is a story of three-generation teacher-student interactions in USA and Taiwan.

Bill told us that he first met Dr. Deming the fall of 1972 at New York University’s Graduate Business School.

Our Taiwanese Deming Circle has reached its 44-year-mark since Dr. Deming’s letters to late Mr. Liu Cheng in 1964 for the translating and updating of “Dr. Deming’s Lectures on Statistical Control of Quality” in Japan 1950.

One line in Dr.Deming’s International Activities listed in The W. Edwards Deming Institute® website (biography) as follows,

“Consultant to the China Productivity Center, Taiwan, 1970, 1971”

http://deming.org/

Many people in the CPC that time were highly involved in the establishments of the Industrial Engineering Department of Tunghai University and the Chinese Society for Quality Control. This is the background we have these lectures this week in CSQ and in Tunghai.

We translated and published Bill’s two books in 1996. We met Bill Taipei in 2006 and made good friends.

We were thrilled to hear that Bill will work in Taipei from January 2008.

We were very grateful for Bill to promise to deliver Tunghai Deming Scholar Lectures 2008 early July and HanChing Chung wrote “A Note” for it, and Bill set the theme of this year lecture series: Profound Knowledge.

“A Note”

The purpose of Tunghai Deming Scholar Lectures 2008 is to to foster understanding of The Deming System of Profound Knowledge™ to advance commerce, prosperity and peace in Taiwan, so that Taiwan can maintain its leading role in various fields.. The Lectures are sponsored by a group of friends of Mr. Hanching Chung who like to dedicate it in the memory of some of his deceased teachers and friends of Tunghai University, honoring the memory of their Tunghai Days. We particular like to express our thanks to Mr. William W. Scherkenbach ‘s kindness to agree to deliver the lectures.

It is easy to cite the praises from the presses about Dr. Deming’s legacy. A few samples for your reference. .In 2005 BBC Radio 4 there is an episode “Do It Like Deming” (July 03, 2005 Business on the box ) In Fortune Magazine’s 75^th Anniversary( July, 2005) special section of “20 That Made History”in last 150 years, ”Dr. Deming 1950”was among one of the key historical decisions. Dr. Deming was also one of “The 50: People Who Most Influenced Business This Century” (with General Douglas MacArthur, Oct,1999, the Los Angeles Times). Not to mention the well cited as one of the “revolutionary thinkers” of the history of Wikipedia article "U.S. News & World Report".』 (Oct. 10:52, 1991).

Unfortunately, most people’s understanding of Dr. Deming’s true legacy, Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge are still very limited and in many ways misleading. For example, I made a comment about the article “Red Bead Experiment” by Mr. Mike Johnson which claims his red beads kit is the original one and he “donated an original paddle and set of beads to the ASQ Organization to be displayed in their new headquarters building in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Information about this display is available in the Deming Newsletter dated Spring 2005..”(http://knol.google.com/k/mike-johnson/red-bead-experiment/3p1wt3p4nkpas/2#)

I suggest him to change the title to "a red beads kit for ASQ display" and as for the ASQ 2005 Display in Deming Newsletter, the readers should read the original report. Please visit. Deming Newsletter dated Spring 2005. http://deming.org/pdfs/DemingInteractionSpring2005.pdf

I also recommend readers to read Dr. Deming's books for the meaning of the game. The reason is very simple that we can easily trace the Red Bead Experiment at least since early 1950s in Dr. Deming’s Japan lectures and the texts of lectures in Taiwan in late 1960s.

It is obvious that Taiwan is a leading place for Dr. Deming’s teachings thanks to many pioneers of productivity and quality movement since 1950s. In fact, this 2008 Tunghai Deming Scholar Lectures are dedicated to some leading advocates and contributors during past half century.

We are most lucky to invite Mr. William W. Scherkenbach as our speaker. We published his two masterpieces (”Deming’s Road to Continual Improvement” and ”The Deming Route to Quality and Productivity: Road Maps and Roadblocks”, both with Dr. Deming’s most favorable forewords) in 1996 and ever since then Bill become one of our honorable Taiwanese friends. He now works as the Vice President Quality Management, Six Sigma and Best Practices for Liteon Technology Corporation.
