Dr. Deming on Variation with John Willis
Adam and John Willis discuss the importance of common and special cause variation and the missing link in teaching lean theory.
This is the third episode in a three-part conversation on Dr. Deming with John Willis. Adam and John dial in on one of the core tenets of the System of Profound knowledge: understanding variation. They discuss special and common cause variation and how to deal with each. Also, why have most people not heard of Deming when he has such an impact on lean theory?
