It is shown how more thorough look at the well-known Shewhart-Deming cycle let us understand
- such sharp problems of the current management as the gap between "gemba" and top management;
- how this gap leads to a creation of the so-called "managerial factory" with all consequences that result from this.
The remedy though not panacea is suggested and discussed along with the goals for quality movement and its future.

It is well-known that Shewhart created the cycle Specification-Production-Inspection
because these steps are not independent and because these three steps correspond to the three steps in a dynamic scientific process of acquiring knowledge

W.E. Deming added a “Study quadrant”to Shewhart cycle and the mankind became acquainted with the famous Shewhart-Deming cycle
PDSA or PDCA
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 6
This is a cycle of continual improvement (Kaizen) and continual
growing of our knowledge

Note that without STATISTICAL THINKINGshown in the previous slidethe stage STUDY may fail to be useful for decision
making in our world full of variability

Cycle PDSA can take different images -an example of one of the most widely-
known is the DMAIC – cycle used in Six Sigma Approach -
But whatever it looks like its conceptual essence does not change
This is always a cycle of our learning and improvement
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 9
But what occurs when the PDSA cycle clashes against the traditional hierarchic structure of businesses
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 10
In this case:Tops create plans
Operators make the workMiddles analyze results and sent
reports to TopsTops make decisions about
corrections and changesOperators implement
changes into their procedures and do
the work again, and so forth…

Everything was going well until a new generation of managers came to the stage
The thing is that the old generation of top managers consisted of the individuals grown up within their organizations and experienced in many jobs at different levels of a company
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 12
The new generation possesses remarkable CV’s and deep knowledge of money flows
But very often they don’t have enough knowledge of value-adding processes and of how these processes run along the mainstream of the organization (in gemba)
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 13
In fact all levels are running along their own cycles but …

The links between tops and doers have disappearedThe Wall between tops and middles have appeared
Tops started to speak in different language

Thus a gap have appeared between top managers and all gemba levels of an organization
Particularly wide this gap is between those tops who are in so-called “white houses”
Such as remote headquarter, ministry departments and so forth…
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 16
Feeling this gap and understanding that it threatens their power
These guys start trying to increase their control over everything
Just this is how “The Managerial Factory”
emerges
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 17
As a result we have something like the following situation

The main problem is thatAll those people are working
very hard -But their work does not
produce any valuable for all other people
John Seddon called it “Managerial Factory”
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 20
Our suggestions for a remedy
The world should refuse fromPursuit for profits, Manipulation of people and Pursuit for numbers and indices And change all those forPursuit for something valuable for
peopleUnderstanding of peopleUnderstanding of system and variability
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 21
By other wordsWe need to refuse from - Assessing the firm performance by
money - Command and control style of
managementTop managers should possess a
“domain knowledge”, i.e. a profound understanding of technology and business of their company
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 22
All people should possess profound knowledge of
what is known as system and statistical thinking
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 23
As a first step on this way we suggest
To prohibit all superior organs from demanding more than five listed below indicators:
- money;- quality;- time;- variability;- people.
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 24
As an additional preliminary step we suggest to refuse from such non-value-adding activity as ISO 9001 certification
Adler Yu, Shper V. EOQ, Tallinn, 2013 25
Technically it is very simple:
The requirements should be excluded from ISO 9001 standard and it has to get a status of recommendations
We think that if the world quality community showed such an example of
responsible behavior it would facilitate quality
movement all over the world
