Mr Deming is, more than anyone, responsible for production methods and quality control in post WW2 Japanese industry. Viewed in the light of the current Toyota schlemozzle it seems that maybe his influence has diminished to a level reminicent of GM quality control in the 1970's-1980's.
I'm sure this is good news for Ford, GM etc. whose quality, it is said, is greatly improved. Still, it's a shame to see an iconic name like Toyota sink in the swamp of poor design and lack of quality.
