(1) How was the Deming Prize Established? The late Dr. W. E. Deming (1900 - 1993), one of the foremost experts of quality control in the United States, was invited to Japan by the Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE) in July 1950. Upon his visit, Dr. Deming lectured day after day his, "Eight-Day Course on Quality Control," at the Auditorium of the Japan Medical Association in Kanda-Surugadai, Tokyo. This was followed by Dr. Deming's "One-Day Course on Quality Control for Top Management," held in Hakone. Through these seminars, Dr. Deming taught the basics of statistical quality control plainly and thoroughly to executives, managers, engineers, and researchers of the Japanese industries. His teachings made a deep impression on the participants' mind and provided great impetus to quality control in Japan, which was in its infancy. The transcript of the eight-day course, "Dr. Deming's Lectures on Statistical Control of Quality," was compiled from its stenographic records and distributed for a charge. Dr. Deming donated his royalties to JUSE. In appreciation of Dr. Deming's generosity, the late Mr. Kenichi Koyanagi, managing director of JUSE, proposed using it to fund a prize to commemorate Dr. Deming's contribution and friendship in a lasting way and to promote the continued development of quality control in Japan. Upon receiving the proposal, the JUSE's board of directors unanimously made a resolution to establish the Deming Prize. Later, the Japanese translation of Dr. Deming's book Some Theory of Sampling was published. Dr. Deming further contributed to the fund using the royalties from his book. Since then, the Deming Prize has grown considerably, and today JUSE carries the overall administrative costs for the prize. (2) The Deming Prize and Development of Quality Control/Management in Japan The Deming Prize, especially the Deming Application Prize which is given to companies, has exerted an immeasurable influence directly or indirectly on the development of quality control/management in Japan. Applicant companies and divisions of companies sought after new approaches to quality management that met the needs of their business environment and challenged for the Deming Prize. Those organizations developed effective quality management methods, established the structures for implementation, and put the methods into practice. Commonly, those who have challenged for the Prize share the feeling that they have had a valuable experience and that the management principle of achieving a business success through quality improvement has really worked. Through witnessing the success of these organizations, many other companies have been inspired to begin their own quest for quality management. Learning from those who went before them, the new practitioners are convinced that quality management is an important key to their business success and that the challenge to attain the Prize can provide an excellent opportunity to learn useful quality methodologies. Thus, quality management has spread to many organizations, its methods have evolved over the years, and they contributed to the advancement of these organizations' improvement activities. This mechanism that encourages each organization's self-development comes from the examination process of the Deming Prize, though the very process has invited some criticism that the examination criteria for the Deming Prize is unclear. The Deming Prize examination does not require applicants to conform to a model provided by the Deming Prize Committee. Rather, the applicants are expected to understand their current situation, establish their own themes and

objectives, and improve and transform themselves company-wide. Not only the results achieved and the processes used, but also the effectiveness expected in the future are subjects for the examination. To the best of their abilities, the examiners evaluate whether or not the themes established by the applicants were commensurate to their situation; whether or not their activities were suitable to their circumstance; and whether or not their activities are likely to achieve their higher objectives in the future. The Deming Prize Committee views the examination process as an opportunity for "mutualdevelopment," rather than "examination." While in realty the applicants still receive the examination by a third party, the examiners' approach to evaluation and judgment is comprehensive. Every factor such as the applicants' attitude toward executing Total Quality Management (TQM), their implementation status, and the resulting effects is taken into overall consideration. In other words, the Deming Prize Committee does not specify what issues the applicants must address, rather the applicants themselves are responsible for identifying and addressing such issues, thus, this process allows quality methodologies to be further developed. Total Quality Control (TQC) that had been developed in Japan as discussed above was reimported to the United States in the 1980s and contributed to the revitalization of its industries. While the term TQC had been used in Japan, it was translated as TQM in western nations. To follow an internationally-accepted practice, Japan changed the name from TQC to TQM. In this revision of the Deming Prize Guide, the previous examination checklist is changed to "the examination viewpoints," which present the activity guides under TQM values. However, as for the examination criteria, the Committee's basic stance remains unchanged. Namely, the criteria should reflect each applicant organization's circumstance. There is no easy success at this time of constant change. No organization can expect to build excellent quality and management systems just by solving problems given by others. They need to think on their own, set lofty goals, and drive themselves to challenge for achieving those goals. For these companies that introduce and implement TQM in this manner, the Deming Application Prize aims to be used as a tool for improving and transforming their business management. (3) Categories of the Deming Prize As shown in the diagram below, the categories of the Deming Prize are the Deming Prize for Individuals, the Deming Application Prize, and the Quality Control Award for Operations Business Units.

Deming PrizeThe Deming Application Prize Given to companies or divisions of companies that have achieved distinctive performance improvement through the application of TQM in a designated year. The Deming Prize for Individuals Given to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the study of TQM or statistical methods used for TQM, or individuals who have made outstanding contributions in the dissemination of TQM. The Quality Control Award for Operations Business Units Given to operations business units of a company that have achieved distinctive performance improvement through the application of quality control/management in

the pursuit of TQM in a designated year.

(4) The Deming Application Prize for Overseas Companies Because its initial purpose was to encourage the development of quality control activities in Japan, the Deming Prize was at first restricted to Japanese companies. In recent years, however, strong interest in the Deming Application Prize by non-Japanese companies has surfaced. The Deming Prize Committee, therefore, established the Deming Application Prize Administrative Regulation in 1984 to allow overseas companies to apply for and receive the Deming Prize upon successfully passing the examination. In 1997, another change was made to enable overseas companies to apply for the Quality Control Award for Operations Business Units. However, if the number of applicants in any year exceeds the examination capacity of the Deming Application Prize Subcommittee, due to schedule limitations, some of the applications may be carried forward to the next year or even later. The Deming Application Prize, the Quality Control Award for Operations Business Units, and the Japan Quality Medal are open to overseas companies. However, the Deming Prize for Individuals are open only to Japanese candidates. (5) Structure and Roles of the Deming Prize Committee

To conduct the examination and award the Deming Prize, the Deming Prize Committee is established as shown in the diagram below. The Deming Prize Committee utilizes five subcommittees to carry out the Deming Prize examination and discuss related matters. Based on the examination reports from the Deming Prize for Individuals Subcommittee, the Deming Application Prize Subcommittee, and the Nikkei QC Literature Prize Subcommittee, the Deming Prize Committee determines the winners among the candidates who applied or who were recommended for the Prize. The administrative work of the Deming Prize Committee is carried out by the JUSE secretariat. The Secretary General of JUSE serves as the Secretary to the Deming Prize Committee and assumes the overall responsibility for administrative work.
