Deming's own account of statistical quality control's impact on Japanese industry, written 17 years after his first JUSE lectures. This paper is a rare first-person account from Deming himself of what he taught in Japan and what he observed happening as a result. He describes the transformation of Japanese manufacturing quality, the role of JUSE in organizing quality education, and the adoption of statistical process control across Japanese industry. Written during the period when American industry was still largely unaware of what was happening in Japan — this paper documents the quality revolution from the inside, before the competitive shock of the 1970s-80s.
