TLDR

According to W. Edwards Deming, American companies require nothing less than a transformation of management style and of governmental relations with industry. In Out of the Crisis, originally published in 1982, Deming offers a theory of management based on his famous 14 Points for Management. Management's failure to plan for the future, he claims, brings about loss of market, which brings about loss of jobs. Management must be judged not only by the quarterly dividend, but by innovative plans to stay in business, protect investment, ensure future dividends, and provide more jobs through improved product and service. In simple, direct language, he explains the principles of management transformation and how to apply them.read more

Interaction of Lean and Building Information Modeling in Construction
TL;DR: In this paper, a matrix that juxtaposes BIM functionalities with prescriptive lean construction principles is used to explore the degree of validity of the interactions between the two paradigms and find that a synergy exists which, if properly understood in theoretical terms, can be exploited to improve construction processes beyond the degree to which it might be improved by application of either of them independently.

TL;DR: It is argued that comparative outcome data should not be used by external agents to make judgments about quality of hospital care and that although outcome data are useful for research and monitoring trends within an organisation, those who wish to improve care for patients and not penalise doctors and managers, should concentrate on direct measurement of adherence to clinical and managerial standards.

Total quality management and sustainable competitive advantage
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the content of TQM is capable of producing a cost- or differentiation-based advantage, and that the tacitness and complexity that are inherent in the process of total quality management have the potential to generate the barriers to imitation that are necessary for sustainability.
