(1) How was the Deming Prize Established? The late Dr. W. E.
Deming (1900 - 1993), one of the foremost experts of quality
control in the United States, was invited to Japan by the Union of
Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) in July 1950. Upon his
visit, Dr. Deming lectured day after day his, "Eight-Day Course on
Quality Control," at the Auditorium of the Japan Medical
Association in Kanda-Surugadai, Tokyo. This was followed by Dr.
Deming's "One-Day Course on Quality Control for Top Management,"
held in Hakone. Through these seminars, Dr. Deming taught the
basics of statistical quality control plainly and thoroughly to
executives, managers, engineers, and researchers of the Japanese
industries. His teachings made a deep impression on the
participants' mind and provided great impetus to quality control in
Japan, which was in its infancy. The transcript of the eight-day
course, "Dr. Deming's Lectures on Statistical Control of Quality,"
was compiled from its stenographic records and distributed for a
charge. Dr. Deming donated his royalties to JUSE. In appreciation
of Dr. Deming's generosity, the late Mr. Kenichi Koyanagi, managing
director of JUSE, proposed using it to fund a prize to commemorate
Dr. Deming's contribution and friendship in a lasting way and to
promote the continued development of quality control in Japan. Upon
receiving the proposal, the JUSE's board of directors unanimously
made a resolution to establish the Deming Prize. Later, the
Japanese translation of Dr. Deming's book Some Theory of Sampling
was published. Dr. Deming further contributed to the fund using the
royalties from his book. Since then, the Deming Prize has grown
considerably, and today JUSE carries the overall administrative
costs for the prize. (2) The Deming Prize and Development of
Quality Control/Management in Japan The Deming Prize, especially
the Deming Application Prize which is given to companies, has
exerted an immeasurable influence directly or indirectly on the
development of quality control/management in Japan. Applicant
companies and divisions of companies sought after new approaches to
quality management that met the needs of their business environment
and challenged for the Deming Prize. Those organizations developed
effective quality management methods, established the structures
for implementation, and put the methods into practice. Commonly,
those who have challenged for the Prize share the feeling that they
have had a valuable experience and that the management principle of
achieving a business success through quality improvement has really
worked. Through witnessing the success of these organizations, many
other companies have been inspired to begin their own quest for
quality management. Learning from those who went before them, the
new practitioners are convinced that quality management is an
important key to their business success and that the challenge to
attain the Prize can provide an excellent opportunity to learn
useful quality methodologies. Thus, quality management has spread
to many organizations, its methods have evolved over the years, and
they contributed to the advancement of these organizations'
improvement activities. This mechanism that encourages each
organization's self-development comes from the examination process
of the Deming Prize, though the very process has invited some
criticism that the examination criteria for the Deming Prize is
unclear. The Deming Prize examination does not require applicants
to conform to a model provided by the Deming Prize Committee.
Rather, the applicants are expected to understand their current
situation, establish their own themes and
objectives, and improve and transform themselves company-wide.
Not only the results achieved and the processes used, but also the
effectiveness expected in the future are subjects for the
examination. To the best of their abilities, the examiners evaluate
whether or not the themes established by the applicants were
commensurate to their situation; whether or not their activities
were suitable to their circumstance; and whether or not their
activities are likely to achieve their higher objectives in the
future. The Deming Prize Committee views the examination process as
an opportunity for "mutualdevelopment," rather than "examination."
While in realty the applicants still receive the examination by a
third party, the examiners' approach to evaluation and judgment is
comprehensive. Every factor such as the applicants' attitude toward
executing Total Quality Management (TQM), their implementation
status, and the resulting effects is taken into overall
consideration. In other words, the Deming Prize Committee does not
specify what issues the applicants must address, rather the
applicants themselves are responsible for identifying and
addressing such issues, thus, this process allows quality
methodologies to be further developed. Total Quality Control (TQC)
that had been developed in Japan as discussed above was reimported
to the United States in the 1980s and contributed to the
revitalization of its industries. While the term TQC had been used
in Japan, it was translated as TQM in western nations. To follow an
internationally-accepted practice, Japan changed the name from TQC
to TQM. In this revision of the Deming Prize Guide, the previous
examination checklist is changed to "the examination viewpoints,"
which present the activity guides under TQM values. However, as for
the examination criteria, the Committee's basic stance remains
unchanged. Namely, the criteria should reflect each applicant
organization's circumstance. There is no easy success at this time
of constant change. No organization can expect to build excellent
quality and management systems just by solving problems given by
others. They need to think on their own, set lofty goals, and drive
themselves to challenge for achieving those goals. For these
companies that introduce and implement TQM in this manner, the
Deming Application Prize aims to be used as a tool for improving
and transforming their business management. (3) Categories of the
Deming Prize As shown in the diagram below, the categories of the
Deming Prize are the Deming Prize for Individuals, the Deming
Application Prize, and the Quality Control Award for Operations
Business Units.
Deming PrizeThe Deming Application Prize Given to companies or
divisions of companies that have achieved distinctive performance
improvement through the application of TQM in a designated year.
The Deming Prize for Individuals Given to individuals who have made
outstanding contributions to the study of TQM or statistical
methods used for TQM, or individuals who have made outstanding
contributions in the dissemination of TQM. The Quality Control
Award for Operations Business Units Given to operations business
units of a company that have achieved distinctive performance
improvement through the application of quality control/management
in
the pursuit of TQM in a designated year.
(4) The Deming Application Prize for Overseas Companies Because
its initial purpose was to encourage the development of quality
control activities in Japan, the Deming Prize was at first
restricted to Japanese companies. In recent years, however, strong
interest in the Deming Application Prize by non-Japanese companies
has surfaced. The Deming Prize Committee, therefore, established
the Deming Application Prize Administrative Regulation in 1984 to
allow overseas companies to apply for and receive the Deming Prize
upon successfully passing the examination. In 1997, another change
was made to enable overseas companies to apply for the Quality
Control Award for Operations Business Units. However, if the number
of applicants in any year exceeds the examination capacity of the
Deming Application Prize Subcommittee, due to schedule limitations,
some of the applications may be carried forward to the next year or
even later. The Deming Application Prize, the Quality Control Award
for Operations Business Units, and the Japan Quality Medal are open
to overseas companies. However, the Deming Prize for Individuals
are open only to Japanese candidates. (5) Structure and Roles of
the Deming Prize Committee
The Deming Prize for Individuals
To see a larger image click here
To conduct the examination and award the Deming Prize, the
Deming Prize Committee is established as shown in the diagram
below. The Deming Prize Committee utilizes five subcommittees to
carry out the Deming Prize examination and discuss related matters.
Based on the examination reports from the Deming Prize for
Individuals Subcommittee, the Deming Application Prize
Subcommittee, and the Nikkei QC Literature Prize Subcommittee, the
Deming Prize Committee determines the winners among the candidates
who applied or who were recommended for the Prize. The
administrative work of the Deming Prize Committee is carried out by
the JUSE secretariat. The Secretary General of JUSE serves as the
Secretary to the Deming Prize Committee and assumes the overall
responsibility for administrative work.
