Spring Semester 2007

Dirty_harryI just raan across a Hitachi had that was covered bck on Nov 16,2006-go back and take a look at A New Breed of  Bloodhound or click bloodhound  When the screen comes up, click full screen and then on the bloodhound story.  My point is that the Dirty Harry of the future is much more likely to carry a USB thumb Drive memory device and a knowledge of SARBOX than a S & W Model 29 .44 Mag pistol.


I will be discussing the importance of Design as an integral part of TQM this semester.  Now Business Week is sponsoring a contest on it, click B/W Design  to learn more.  More at the Dec 3 2006 post on Design.  Also take a look at  Fast Company's list of design articles.

I have noticed that Orientals start out micmicing US designs but don't seem to get it right until they open a studio in the US.  The early Subarus were just plain funky, today they are much better, ditto for the first toyotas in the early 1970s.  Anyway, here is a link to Taiwan's stab at greeting its own Deming Award, at Branding Taiwan   The site is slow and a bit awkard, but gee, that island must be one gigantic manufacturing plant from end to end.  You will certainly be familiar with the names of their top ten companies.  Do you see the link between the Deming Award in Japan, the Taiwan Excellence Award in Taiwan and the Malcoom Baldridge Award in the US?
