[edit] Good edit

I appreciate the eagle eye, keep up the good work. Care to discuss the differences over the page in talk? Sam Spade 03:37, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Fascism & Austrian School

Hi, don't panic. I moved your text to the Fascism and ideology page since there was already a big discussion on the exact same topic there. I really hope you will consider editing the combined material into something more coherent. Your prose was one of the best summaries of the position I have seen, even though I totally disagree with it.--Cberlet 22:32, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Re your nasty note on my page: I am not censoring anything, and your assumptions about my views are false. Hayek, von Mises, and Flynn all wrote about similarites among fascism, national socialism, corporatism, and the U.S. welfare state. Your ignorance of this has created your anger. Please chill out.--Cberlet 18:26, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not angry, and it was a statement of fact. Nobody who hates Nazis seems to want it known that they were a variation on Socialism, hence my contribution has been removed 3 times despite the fact that I was only citing work from two books still in print over 50 years after their initial publication. Censor me, grow some skin. Ehusman 23:56, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Academy edits

Nice edits on the Albuquerque Academy page. The added history really adds a lot more depth. -Vontafeijos 02:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shewhart cycle

You asked:

"Is there any reason to carry the "Joiner Seven Step Method"? It looks like advertisement for a non-notable consultant."

Dr. Joiner worked closely with Dr. Deming for many years. Deming often quoted and gave credit to Dr. Joiner for contributions in his books and during The Deming Four Day Seminars. The Joiner Seven Step Method is widely recognized as a useful elaboration of the Shewhart Cycle. Dr. Joiner has retired from practice.

See: Brian L. Joiner, Fourth Generation Management: The New Business Consciousness McGraw-Hill; 1 edition (February 1, 1994) ISBN: 0070327157

I was unable to find a reference to the Joiner Seven Step Method (other than a brief listing in the glossary section of the Library section) on the Oriel Incorporated web site. I suggest keeping the information about the Joiner Seven Step Method in the body of the article and deleting the link to the Oriel Incorporated web site.

Deming Library Videos

The definitive, comprehensive presentation of the Deming philosophy as Dr. W. Edwards Deming developed and taught it. The Library contains 32 1/2 hr. programs with narration and teaching guides (on CDROM).

This is the complete and authoritative presentation of the Deming philosophy of continual improvement and cooperation in video with teaching guides. Dr. Deming collaborated with producer Clare Crawford-Mason and writer/narrator Lloyd Dobyns for more than eight years to produce an account of his theory of managing for continual improvement based on knowledge of systems and the principle of variation.

Implementing Deming, Vol. 3: The Case Against Management by Objective

This video features Dr. Brian L. Joiner, CEO of Joiner Associates. He describes Western management practices as a combination of three generations of management: doing it yourself, directing another person, and managing by results which he states is a subset of management by objectives. Dr. Joiner recommends the "fourth generation of management," which he refers to as "management by method." This management strategy places emphasis on methods as well as results. 26:27 min. Includes teaching guide.

Implementing Deming, Vol 4: What To Do Instead of Managing by Objectives

Dr. Joiner discusses implementation of continual improvement. He begins with the 14 Points and discusses in detail how to use the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle as the logic for on-going improvement. He recommends that leaders initially select a few key processes for improvement. Appropriate data has to be gathered and analyzed. Dr. Joiner summarizes the important differences between MBO and management for continual improvement. 23:27 min. Includes teaching guide.

[edit] Training Within Industry

"For that purpose, TWI trainers were brought to Europe by the occupying forces there, and to Japan by Macarthur during the occupation."

The following is a link to the The Fundamentals of Industrial Management CCS Management Course taught by Homer M. Sarasohn and Charles A. Protzman at Macarthur's direction in Japan. I thought this might be of interest to you.

[edit] Continuous Improvement

Hi there... why the redirect from Continuous Improvement to Kaizen? I know they're related, but to me, Kaizen is a specific school or body of knowledge, whereas continuous improvement is a concept. What about Theory of Constraints, Root cause analysis, Learning organization, etc... these are all continuous improvement tools/methods that aren't necessarily related to Kaizen very closely. --72.141.22.69 19:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Engineer User box

Yeah, I'm a chem eng, it's not the best generic image - but for some reason cogs seem to mean engineer. The userbox used to feature the image from {stub engineering}, I like this one better. Journeyman 01:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] stealing quotes

[edit] atmospheric resolution

A non-wiki-editing friend tells me that your expression for atmospheric MTF at Optical_resolution#Atmospheric_resolution has a minus sign in front of the 5/3 exponent where it should not. It does seem peculiar, since there's a ratio that would probably just be written the other way around if a negative power were desired there. Can you check your source and let me know if you agree that this is in error? Dicklyon 18:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
