General Motors wasn’t my ideal workplace after having read Deming’s Out of the Crisis and learning a bit about Lean manufacturing in college. If possible, I wanted to work in something closer to the Deming environment. I was told that Dr. Deming had taught some workshops within GM, particularly the Powertrain division in the 1980s.

I was happy to see John Hunter share the article on the Deming Institute blog last year , along with some context. The SHS journal article starts with a brief introduction, not in the original document, by Dr. Deming that summarizes the key points, all of which are still relevant today. The lesson learned? Many hands go up.
