Edward Deming is known for reminding management that most problems are systemic and it is management’s responsibility to enhance the system in order for the workers to do their job in a more effective way.

The theory is that improvements in quality lead to lower costs and high productivity because they result in less rework, fewer mistakes, fewer delays, and better use
