"Learn, apply, and extend the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming and to help others do the same."
Our thanks to Mike Tveite for the use of his aim.
The DEN came out of a conversation between Myron Tribus, Tom Glenn, Del Kimbler, John Hunter, and Jim Clauson at the first Deming Institute Conference in early 1994. We envisioned using the Internet to share, network, and support activities of Deming "followers" world wide.
The DEN originated as a discussion list supported by Tom Glenn on his home system, along with his original TQM BBS and the Community Quality Electronic Network. In early 1995, the file area and the discussion list became too much for Tom's system, and Del Kimbler volunteered hardware, software, and technical support at the CQI server at the Department of Industrial Engineering at Clemson University in Clemson, SC.
The DEN discusion list currently has about 600 subscribers in 22 countries worldwide. Discussion topics are varied, but the focus is on Dr. Deming's philosophy and teachings (as noted in the DEN Aim above).
There are 2 subscription options: Normal messaging and Digest Messaging.
With normal messaging, you will receive 10-20 individual messages a day. With digest messaging, all daily messages are combined into one long message, with an index.
Subscribing:
Use the "mailto" links below to subscribe to either the normal list or the digested list. Simply include the word Subscribe in the Subject line and your e-mail address in the body of the text.
This form will allow you to post messages to the den.list
email discussion list maintained at deming.ces.clemson.edu. Since this list is moderated, your post will go to the moderator, rather than directly to the list.
The DEN is a list specifically focused on the philosophy of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Only such posts will be forwarded to the list.
If you are a student, please be very specific in your request. If you have already done a web search and cannot find something, perhaps we can help. Requests such as "Tell me about the 14 Points" will not receive responses from subscribers other than: "Check the library."
Enter your correct home email address in the "From:" box and a subject meaningful to other readers in the "Subject:" box. You can enter the text of the message in the space below; be sure to include your signature, preferred email address, or other information so
people can reply to you. Please note that the message area does not word-wrap at the end of a line; you will have to put in returns to keep within the 60 columns.
