In this thesis, it is finished off in Chapter 9 that discusses Quality Award in the future
and the proposal of a new Quality Award by author's opinions.
1.2 Background of this thesis: Development of TQM in Japan
It looks back on the developing process of TQM in our country in this chapter
according to Koura [1] before the research on the TQM element starts.
(A) "Investigation and research age of Quality Control" (1946-49)
80% or more became ruins as for the industrial installation of Japan of the defeat
this time in 1945, and there were only ten-odd % of the level at prewar days industrial
output. You may say that only "Diligent person and the brain" was left in Japan where
resource doesn't exist, Koyanagi [2] (author postscript). Japanese Standards Association
(JSA at the following) was established by the enactment of Industrial Standardization
Law in 1945 and Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineers (JUSE at the following) in
1946, and became the mother's body of the quality control promotion of our country.
Chairman of JUSE, Mr. Ichiro Ishikawa (First Chairman, Japan Federation of
Economic Organizations) organized the team organized by scholars and experience
experts for the revival of Japanese industry in 1948, planned an overseas technological
investigation (USA), budgeted for the investigation research expense from Economic
Stabilization Agency in the same year, and decided the introduction of "Quality Control"
as a result of the investigation. JUSE began for a Quality Control Seminar (Basic
Quality Control Course) in 1949. Afterwards, QCRG (Quality Control Research Group)
organized by the lecturers of this seminar endeavored in the Quality Control
development of Japan. In "Statement of starting" of the first number of "Quality
Control" (present "Quality Management") magazine in March, 1950, Mr. Ichiro
Ishikawa described, "For ‘Condition it should be’ to the future of our country economic
industry for rebuilding of ‘Peaceful Country’, ‘Cultured Country’, and ‘Democratic
Country’: It is emphasized to make the product of our country can stand competition
with dignified manner in the global market" (sentence omission)(Ishikawa [3]) and the
vision of Quality Control of Japan had been shown here by.
(B) "SQC age" (1950-54) and "Age of systematic strengthening control for Quality
Control" (1955-59)
Dr. W. Edwards Deming was invited from the USA in 1950, and the Quality Control
Course for eight days was held, the Deming Prize was established for commemoration of
doctor's friendship and his contribution in 1951, and became the mainspring of the
Quality Control (hereafter called QC) development of Japan afterwards. The spread and
the application of the Statistical Quality Control were actively implemented and it was
called SQC Age in this age. And, Control Chart, Process Control Diagram, and control
and improvement by the analysis of the process are advanced by "Deming Cycle", and it
