Creation of Deming System of Profound Knowledge Framework
Total Quality Management (TQM), Lean, and Lean Six Sigma are problem-solving methodology examples. Each of these problem solving approaches has strengths and weaknesses; however, these techniques are not an organizational governance system. Some regard governance as a collection of separate processes, or as a component of broader management or leadership processes. A more inclusive governance definition is the need for consistent cohesive management policies, processes and decision-rights throughout the enterprise. Ideally this governance system should incorporate what W. Edwards Deming referred to as System of Profound knowledge. An Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) roadmap system for this accomplishment is described in a 4 book-volume series.
