WALTER SHEWHART Shewhart has also contributed the Statistical Process Control (SPC) theory to quality management. " He preached the importance of adapting management processes to create profitable situations for both businesses and consumers, promoting the utilization of his own creation the SPC control chart." (2002). The SPC is a tool that business and/or industries use to reach quality in their products and/or services that they provide to their customers. Within this tool, Shewhart introduces two types of variations. The first type is called the controlled variation. Controlled variation has a consistent pattern of variation over a period of time that is caused by random chances. The second type is called uncontrolled variation. Uncontrolled variation is an inconsistent change in the variation over a period of time that is determined by assigned causes. Dr. W. Edwards Deming Deming's business philosophy is summarized in his famous "14 Points," listed below. These points have inspired significant changes among a number of leading US companies striving to compete in the world's increasingly competitive environment." (2002) The seventh point is to institute leadership. This will help the management team assist their employees in doing a more productive job. In point eight, Deming suggests that companies should drive out fear. He simply means that organizations should encourage their employees to communicate with them more. Point nine suggests that organizations should break down the barriers. What Deming meant by this is promote teamwork throughout the different departments. The tenth point is to eliminate exhortations. Deming describes this as a way to eliminate company slogans and/or posters.

Home JOIN RENEW Search ... Contact Us Walter A. Shewhart Father of statistical quality control T Shewhart was concerned that statistical theory serve the needs of industry. He exhibited the restlessness of one looking for a better way. A man of science who patiently developed and tested his ideas and the ideas of others, he was an astute observer of developments in the world of science and technology. While the literature of the day discussed the stochastic nature of both biological and technical systems, and spoke of the possibility of applying statistical methodology to these systems, Shewhart actually showed how it was to be done; in that respect, the field of quality control can claim a genuine pioneer in Shewhart.

7. Biography Of Walter A Shewhart shewhart walter A. Statistical Method from the Viewpoint of Quality Control http://www.sigma-engineering.co.uk/light/shewhartbiog.htm

Biography of Walter A Shewhart Shewhart was born in New Canton, Illinois, USA on 18th March 1891. His schooling in physics at the Universities of Illinois and California led him to his doctorate and a brief spell as an academic. In 1918, Shewhart joined the Western Electric Company, a manufacturer of telephony hardware for Bell Telephone. Bell Telephone’s engineers had been working to improve the reliability of their transmission systems. Because amplifiers and other equipment had to be buried underground, there was a business need to reduce the frequency of failures and repairs. Bell Telephone had already realised the importance of reducing variation in a manufacturing process, the basis of all lean production. Moreover, they had realised that continual process-adjustment in reaction to non-conformance actually increased variation and degraded quality. In 1924, Shewhart framed the problem in terms of "assignable-cause" and "chance-cause" variation and introduced the "control chart" as a tool for distinguishing between the two. Shewhart stressed that bringing a production process into a state of "statistical control", where there is only chance-cause variation, and keeping it in control, is necessary to predict future output and to manage a process economically. Shewhart worked to advance the thinking at Bell Telephone Laboratories from their foundation in 1925 until his retirement in 1956, publishing a series of papers in the Bell System Technical Journal During the 1930s, Shewhart’s work led him to fundamental scientific and philosophical issues, particularly those concerned with

Walter Shewhart - The Grandfather of Total Quality Management. His Ideas The original notions of Total Quality Management and continuous improvement trace back to a former Bell Telephone employee named Walter Shewhart. One of W. Edwards Deming's teachers, he preached the importance of adapting management processes to create profitable situations for both businesses and consumers, promoting the utilization of his own creation the SPC control chart. Dr. Shewhart believed that lack of information greatly hampered the efforts of control and management processes in a production environment. In order to aid a manager in making scientific, efficient, economical decisions, he developed Statistical Process Control methods. Many of the modern ideas regarding quality owe their inspirtation to Dr. Shewhart. He also developed the Shewhart Cycle Learning and Improvement cycle, combining both creative management thinking with statistical analysis. This cycle contains four continuous steps: Plan, Do, Study and Act. These steps (commonly refered to as the PDSA cycle), Shewhart believed, ultimately lead to total quality improvement. The cycle draws its structure from the notion that constant evaluation of management practices as well as the willingness of management to adopt and disregard unsupported ideas are keys to the evolution of a successful enterprise.

An acceptable method of random selection with equal probabilities is the use of a table of random numbers in a standard manner.

Era Two - The Gurus - Walter A. Shewhart Walter A. Shewhart could be considered the "Father of Quality." This title is most often associated with W. Edwards Deming, but Deming learned "at the feet" of Shewhart. Shewhart laid the first seed of the quality movement with his book "Economic Control of Quality of Manufactured Product." This book introduced the concept of Statistical Process Control. SPC has become the cornerstone for process control in industry. As influential as SPC is, this is not the only contribution made by Shewhart. He planted ideas in the head of Deming that were later turned into the management concepts that Deming took to Japan and finally brought home in the 1980's. One of these ideas was the concept of Profound Knowledge, an idea discussed later in the section on Deming. An idea that is commonly credited to Deming, but in actuality belongs to Shewhart is the PDCA (or PDSA) cycle of management. This is the Plan-Do-Check (or Study)-Act cycle that should be used for all management projects. Plan what you want to do, do it, study the results, make corrections, and then plan for the improvements (starting the cycle again).

A History of the Speed of light In 1939 Walter A Shewhart published a chart of the history of measurement of the speed of light . His attention had turned from his earlier work on industrial statistics and business improvement to issues of scientific measurement and operational definitions. The chart shows a gradual decrease in the measured values and substantial inconsistency between studies, even when measurement uncertainty is considered. Much of Shewhart's intention in publishing the chart was to expose some of the issues around measurement uncertainty and how it is addressed by scientists. I was always intrigued as to the subsequent history of the chart so decided to research the data and bring the chart up to date. Of course, at the 1983 Conference Generale des Poids et Mesures the following SI ( Systeme International ) definition of the metre was adopted: "The metre is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second." This brought an end to speed of light measurement so the whole history can be told, at least until the current definition of the metre becomes sufficiently imprecise for current needs and the definition needs to be refined. The up-to-date chart is shown in Figure 1. The vertical lines illustrate the experimenters' estimate of uncertainty though it is not always clear what these are meant to suggest.
