Dr. Deming on Variation

This is the first episode of a few episodes on Dr. Deming's works. Adam recaps Dr. Deming's "System of Profound Knowledge" principle: understanding variation. There are two types of variation: common and special causes. Misunderstanding the type of variation leads to wasted effort and lost resources. Understanding variation helps optimize system performance.The Deming Rabbit Hole:☕️ Small Batches #100: Deming's Journey to Profound Knowledge with John Willis☕️ Small Batches #84: Dr. Deming☕️ Small Batches #67: The Red Beads (Deming's experiment to introduce SPok)☕️ Small Batches #50: Introducing Dr. Deming with John Willis☕️ Small Batches #51: System of Profound Knowledge with John Willis☕️ Small Batches #52: Understanding Variation with John Willis📘 Deming's Journey to Profound Knowledge📘 The New Economics📘 The Essential Deming📘 Out of the Crisis🎙️The Profound Podcast ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
