The French Deming Association was founded in February 1989. This initiative was supported by Dr. Deming, who was made Honorary Life Member in July 1989, during a seminar he led in Versailles. We are a learning organization, essentially devoted to education and research, not aimed at profit-making. Our purpose is to help our members and to coordinate their studies, in order to promote a way of management which respects human dignity.
The secret is cooperation towards the aim of the organization. We cannot afford the destructive effect of competition.
