About the Author

Dr. Donald J. Wheeler has been actively planting the seeds of transformation in companies and organizations around the world for over 25 years. His classes have been credited with being the essential element in turning companies around and taking them from red ink to black. In less spectacular ways his seminars have been the foundation for establishing learning cultures within many organizations in various industries. Unlike so many classes where the emphasis is upon techniques, Dr. Wheeler's classes go far beyond mere techniques to teaching the way of thinking needed to use those techniques effectively. He has worked with over 250 companies in chemical processing, health care, medical equipment, information technology, steel and aluminum production, agribusiness, food production and processing, electronics, pulp and paper processing, automotive suppliers, government agencies, and banking. Dr. Wheeler has taught over 1000 seminars in the USA, Canada, Mexico, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, South Africa, Brazil and Malaysia. Over 60,000 students from the US and 32 countries on five continents have attended his seminars, which are held in Knoxville, Tennessee. Marketing research shows that word of mouth advertising brings in the majority of these students. We love it when our clients and students tell their friends and colleagues how good Dr. Wheeler's classes are! Along with his acclaimed seminars, Dr. Wheeler has also authored or coauthored twenty books which collectively form the definitive library for Discovery through Data Analysis. His books are being used throughout the US and in over 41 countries around the world. Dr. Wheeler has M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Statistics from Southern Methodist University. He taught at the University of Tennessee for 12 years where he was an Associate Professor of Statistics. He is a Fellow both the American Statistical Association and the American Society for Quality, and he was an associate of Dr. W. Edwards Deming until his death in 1993. In short, Dr. Wheeler is the internationally recognized expert on Data Analysis and SPC. He has the knowledge, the experience, and the ability to communicate that knowledge and experience to others.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great collection of thoughtful quotes from Dr. Deming., July 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best of Deming (Paperback)

This compact book is a compilation of quotes by Dr. Edward Deming the father of modern quality management. The quotes run the range of immediately understandable to subtle to provocative. I use this book for two purposes. To stimulate my own mind when I need to be inspired, and as a source to teach others. I like to use one or two of these quotes when I give a presentation because they help reinforce the message and hold the audiences attention. I have shared this book with others and I find it makes a great gift to anyone responsible to lead an group in improving their quality.

This review is from: The Best of Deming (Paperback)

Dr. Deming is the guru of management systems. All current "flavors of the month" are based on Deming principles. This book is a quick quote to add to a presentation or a reminder of his techniques. Quick read (an hour?) but a lively resource.
