Vladimir, 

This might be a good survey question.  

How much were you taught about Deming during your undergraudate or
graduate studies? 

I have undergraduate in mathematics and applied statistics. 

All of my learning about Deming came from post-graduate work sponsored
by my employer when we were embarking on quality improvement processes.


I know some schools are teaching this in undergrad programs but I've got
no clue how many or how widespread it is.  
I suspect not as widespread as it needs to be.   

Thanks, 
RKB

Denizens,

I've just returned from the 3rd ENBIS (European Network for Business and
Industrial Statistics) conference at Barcelona (www.enbis.org/).

At least 3 presentations were closely connected with Shewhart-Deming
ideas of variability.

But what became quite amazing for me: during these presentations the
audience reaction showed that many statisticians present aren't
acquainted with Deming's theory of variability.

What do you think: is this by chance or regularity?

Best regards

Vladimir
