Quality is a clock with gear wheels

Quality is a clock with gear wheels

Once, I was thinking about, how to explain the meaning of Deming's quote

Quality is everyone's responsibility"

to the crew level, I tried to be as simple as I could, but I couldn't get to the result I intended to have.

Till one day, I saw a broken watch during its maintenance, and I wondered what if a small Gear Wheel stopped working, shall this affects the working watch ???!!! I asked the maintenance man. He replied " One Little Or Big Gear wheel- if corrupted- Will stop the watch to be unuseful"

I took his words to be the exact example I needed to explain Deming's Quote. That's right, Everyone - regardless his position in the company- can affect the product / service Quality, and Customer will only blame the company's Product / Service, not the mistaken person or crew.

So We are Gear wheels in a Bigger Watch, any little gear wheel defect may interfere with the whole watch. So take care of your decisions as it will affect the whole company even your society.

And don't forget all the pivots, the jewels, the mainspring and the oil for smooth running!

that's true and i agree with you 100% even changing the mentality of people against Quality will take long time and hard work.
