Deming's System of Profound Knowledge
Deming's System of Profound Knowledge is a framework for improving organizations and processes. It consists of four key components: understanding systems, variation, psychology, and knowledge. Understanding systems emphasizes seeing the big picture and how parts interact. Variation involves recognizing differences in processes and outputs to improve quality. Psychology focuses on understanding human behavior in the workplace, fostering motivation and engagement. Finally, knowledge encourages continuous learning and application of insights. Together, these elements help organizations optimize performance, enhance quality, and achieve long-term success by promoting a deeper comprehension of how systems work and how people contribute.
