The Chicago Tribune, Statistical Method Helps Boost Bottom Lines, Batting Averages "Using statistical techniques embraced by quality guru W. Edwards Deming, Holland has worked for a generation guiding enterprises large and small to boost efficiency. His chief insight is that the best suggestions to improve efficiency are as likely to come from a janitor as from a foreman." "He started QualPro at the urging of Deming, whose theories helped Japan shed its image as a source of cheap, shoddy products and become a world leader in quality manufacturing." Anything that can be measured can be improved, " Holland said. "He has even applied his methods to his teenage son's baseball team. Holland said that given his experience with his son's ball team, the Chicago Cubs ought to take a look." "There's no doubt it would boost the performance of major-leaguers," he said. "There is no such thing as an optimized process, no matter what it is. You just don't get there with trial and error." Request a reprint of the entire article. |
