QMSs in Japan - Seeking information about the beginning and evolution

[pawel.lang]

Hallo! It's my first post on the forum so I'm curious if anybody answers it

I look for a literature source about QMSs in Japan. The beginning and it's evolution. I write currently an article about evolution of QMSs in the automotive industry. I have some interesting books and WebPages about Europe and US. But couldn't find anything good about Japan.

Welcome to the Cove!

I can't help personally - Maybe one of the others can. I'm wondering if there is any pre- world war II information out there.

This could prove interesting.

Hello Pawel, and welcome to the Cove.

Good subject.

I'm sure there are Cove dwellers better suited to respond than I am, but your question is interesting, and I will happily take part in this thread. While we wait for more replies I suggest a look in the Philosophy, Gurus, Controversy and Evolution forum. After all, some well known Q Gurus figured heavily in the early days of Japans Quality movement history.

A chapter from a book which describes Japan's post WWII entry into Q systems.
