Re: Deming and software development

[John Hunter <deming@ilema.net>]

Software Development Magazine has an article on Lean Programming:

http://www.sdmagazine.com/articles/2001/0105/0105e/0105e.htm

begins:

About the time of the 1980 NBC documentary "If Japan Can, Why Can't We?," and refers to Deming?s ideas and ?Lean concepts?.  It provides far from a perfect representation of what Deming said but is another indication of those in software development trying to use his ideas.

The site doesn't appear to have an easy link to part two of this article (from the link above), so I will provide the part two link also:
