On April 9, Mike Micklewright will perform at the Chicago ASQ dinner meeting. I've made and paid my reservation. I'm looking forward to the evening. Any other Chicago Section members out there who plan to attend? An Evening with Dr. Deming
Date: April 9,2008
Time: 5:30—9:00

Dr. W. Edwards Deming oftentimes was known as the Prophet of Quality, but many people fail to understand his impact and influence on waste reduction, the early Lean movement, the resurgence of Japan ’s quality and productivity. Learn about Dr. Deming (as personified by Mike Micklewright, the WHYs Guy), his principles (14 Points), how he rates today’s business and quality world against his 14 Points, his personal stories, his effect an Japan and the US, and his viewpoint on today’s trends in Lean, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma, Root Cause Analysis, and ISO 9001, etc.
