You Can Use the Methods and Tools of Quality Improvement Anywhere

In college, I spent four years studying Systems Engineering. The methods and tools of quality improvement are what I use instead. Here’s why:



“I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma Demystified” and QI Macros [software].

“When I went to college I studied systems engineering, which is the mathematical optimization of systems, operations research (things of that nature), which is for solving very complicated problems like transportation or whatever. It wasn’t until I got into Quality Improvement, where I found a simplified set of tools that I could use in everyday life, that I really started to figure out how best to start to simplify, streamline and optimize systems: Better, faster, cheaper; free, perfect and now.

Our Quality Gurus Are Gone

The quality gurus of the last century are gone. Who will take their place?



“I’m Jay Arthur, author of “Lean Six Sigma Demystified” and QI Macros [software].

“One of our longtime sponsors and supporters Jim Harrington passed away recently at the age of 95. I saw him every year at the American Society for Quality conference. He will be missed, but all of our gurus are gone: Deming, Juran, Ishikawa, Crosby… everybody is gone. We’re going to need some new gurus, including you. We’re going to need new people to champion Quality in this century.
