1. Who is the man with His philosophy resulted in the 14 Points of TQM, which can be
summed up by saying management must redesign their processes and systems to: Plan,

Answer : The Deming Cycle, or PDCA Cycle (also known as PDSA Cycle), is a
continuous quality improvement model consisting out of a logical sequence of four
repetitive steps for continuous improvement and learning: “Plan, Do, Check (Study) and
Act”. The PDSA cycle (or PDCA) is also known as the Deming Cycle, the Deming wheel
of continuous improvement spiral. Its origin can be traced back to the eminent statistics
expert Mr. Walter A. Shewart, in the 1920s. He introduced the concept of PLAN, DO and
SEE. The late Total Quality Management (TQM) guru and renowned statistician Edward
W. Deming modified the SHEWART cycle as: PLAN, DO, STUDY, and ACT. Along
with the other well-known American quality guru-J.M. Juran, Deming went to Japan as
part of the occupation forces of the allies after World War II. Deming taught a lot of
Quality Improvement methods to the Japanese, including the usage of statistics and the
PLAN, DO, STUDY, ACT cycle.
The Deming cycle, or PDSA cycle:

most quality management best practices around the world.
