The Scientific School Of Management : A 6 page study of the
first management theory -- formulated by Frederick Taylor
before the turn of the century. Always one wanting to
"improve" standard, Taylor was the initiator of time studies
and assessment of numbers of movements workers made in
order to complete a task. The first major outgrowth of
Taylor’s work was that of Walter A. Shewart, who
introduced statistical analysis to Taylor’s model. Shewart’s
protegé, W. Edwards Deming, is now known as the father of
Total Quality Management (TQM). Taylor’s name is not well
known today, but his theories, more than 80 years after his
death, are the principles by which McDonald’s determines the
desired flipping rate among their employees who are cooking
hamburgers. Bibliography lists 12 sources. Scimgt.wps

The Theorists Of Total Quality Management : A 15 page
research paper on some of the most influential theorists
behind the evolution of Total Quality Management (TQM).
TQM by any name is the goal of nearly all businesses today:
maximizing productivity and profitability while
simultaneously reducing costs. Walter Shewhart originated
the idea that quality control could be statistically measured
and enhanced; W. Edwards Deming was his assistant and
expanded Shewhart’s original theory into the concept we
know today as TQM. Joseph M. Juran was a contemporary
of Deming’s, and followed Deming’s presentations in Japan
with ideas of his own. K. Ishikawa tailored the American
ideas specifically for the Japanese, and his ideas were
exported all over the world. Ishikawa’s work and the early
indifference of American manufacturers to issues of quality
are the primary reasons many believe that TQM is of
Japanese origin. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Tqm2.wps
