the refinement of the Walter Andrew Shewhart (1891-1967) Shewhart quality control cycle
PDSA Plan-Do-Study-Act. Originally,
Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) natural philosophy
of the scientific method influenced Shewhart.

W. Edward Deming taught systemic quality productive processes to Japanese manufacturing industrialists. Improving quality at every stage
of production would achieve statistical quality improvement producing a constantly improving product. Deming’s PDCA Plan-Do-Check-Act

Leading to “just in sequence”

in inventory, storage and floor space costs.
