Edwards Deming. I don’t think I learned anything about Deming or his work as an undergraduate Industrial Engineering student from 1991 to 1995. I do remember my statistics professor saying something in class, in early 1994, right after Dr. Deming passed away. Why had I heard of Dr. Deming?

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.
