31. Who am I
_________ developed his
complete philosophy of
management, which he
encapsulated into his
“fourteen points” and the

control charts, and his
theories on knowledge,
psychology and variation.

the Plan, Do, Check, Act
(PDCA) cycle (known as
“Plan-Do-Study-Act” in

the quality trilogy –
quality planning, quality
improvement, and
quality control. Quality
management plans
quality improvements
that raise the level of
performance, which then
must be controlled or
sustained at that level in
order to start the cycle
again.

36. DR. JOSEPH M. JURAN

37. Who am I ?
_________ developed lean
concepts such as Single Minute
Exchange of Die (SMED) or
reduced set-up times instead of
increased batch sizes, as well as
Poka-Yoke (mistake proofing) to
eliminate obvious opportunities
for mistakes. He also worked
with Taiichi Ohno to refine JustIn-Time (JIT) manufacturing into
an integrated manufacturing
strategy, which is widely used to
define the lean
manufacturing used in the
Toyota production system
(TPS).

38. SHIGEO SHINGO

39. Who am I ?
__________ developed
the seven wastes
(muda), which are used
in lean to describe nonvalue-added activity.
He developed various
manufacturing
improvements with
Shigeo Shingo that
evolved into the Toyota
Production System.

41. Who am I ?
_________ developed the idea of
“quality is free” which asserts that
implementing quality
improvement pays for itself
through the savings from the
improvement, increased revenue
from greater customer
satisfaction, and the improved
competitive advantage that
results. He popularized “zero
defects” to define the goal of a
quality program as the elimination
of all defects and not the reduction
of defects to an acceptable quality
level.

42. PHILIP B. CROSBY

43. Who am I ?
_________ developed the
“Taguchi methodology” of
robust design, which
focused on making the
design less sensitive to
variation in the
manufacturing process,
instead of trying
to control manufacturing
variation. This idea
of ”designing in quality” has
become an important
tenant of six sigma today

44. DR. GENICHI TAGUCHI

45. Who am I ?
 _________ developed
the Theory of
Constraints which focuses
on a single element in a
process chain as having the
greatest leverage for
improvement (i.e., “1% can
have a 99% impact”). This
compares to the Pareto
principle which states that
20% of the factors have an
80% effect on the process.

46. DR. ELIYAHU M. GOLDRATT

47. Who am I ?
