Welcome on the Web Site !
The French Deming Association was founded in 1989 by Jean-Marie Gogue, currently Honorary President, in the presence of Dr. William Edwards Deming.
From 1950, within the Japanese Industry, Dr. Deming has experienced a management theory he had learnt from Dr. Walter Shewhart, a famous statistician. Its implementation led many Japanese firms, ruined during the second world war, to the first world level.
From 1980, in a lot of seminars in America and Europe, Dr. Deming put forward a method of systemic analysis aimed at solving the crisis. It's the « System of Profound Knowledge ».
Dr. Deming offers solutions to some management problems which are often mentioned in the press :
- Vertical structures which prevent from taking into account the customers satisfaction.
- Management practices which stress the executive people and lead them to be isolated and make errors.
- Financial incentives which develop extrinsic motivation at the expense of intrinsic motivation, prevent workers from developping their knowledge and contributing to innovation.
- Visions which do not enough take into account the interdependent relations between the different partners of the organizations.
- Product and service improvement programs which could be much more efficient by regularly using adequate statistical methods.
Dr. Deming was a visionary : his management style based on human being proved its efficiency. It's a definitely modern approach.
By joining us, you will enjoy exchanges with other members of the Association determined to take initiatives for a better French society.
