	ASQ: About: Kaoru Ishikawa
		Ishikawa's reasoning was that the Chinese alphabet, one of the most difficult writing systems in the world, can be mastered only after a great deal of study; thus, hard work and the desire for education became part of the character of those nations.
		In his Shewhart Medal acceptance speech, Ishikawa called standardization and quality control "two wheels of the same cart." His emphasis might be surprising to some who think of standards as rigid and unchanging, but Ishikawa stressed the need for standards to change, and the dangers of clumsy enforcement of standards.
		The medal is awarded annually in honor of Ishikawa to an individual or team for outstanding leadership in improving the human aspects of quality.

	Administrative Science Quarterly: Total quality management: empirical, conceptual, and practical issues
		The strong version of this assumption, implicit in Juran and Ishikawa but explicit and prominent in Deming's writing, is that producing quality products and services is not merely less costly but, in fact, is absolutely essential to long-term organizational survival (Deming, 1993: xi-xii).
		Employees naturally care about the quality of work they do and will take initiatives to improve it--so long as they are provided with the tools and training that are needed for quality improvement, and management pays attention to their ideas.
		Ishikawa, by contrast, is much less system-oriented: He states that cross-functional teams should not set overall directions; rather, each line division should set its own goals using local objective-setting procedures (Ishikawa, 1985: 116-117).

		Whilst, perhaps ironically, the early origins of the now famous Quality Circles can be traced to the United States in the 1950s, Professor Ishikawa is best known as a pioneer of the Quality Circle movement in Japan in the early 1960s, which has now been re-exported to the West.
		As with other Japanese quality gurus, Kaoru Ishikawa has paid particular attention to making technical statistical techniques used in quality attainment accessible to those in industry.
		Thus Ishikawa sees the Company Wide Quality Control movement as implying that quality does not only mean the quality of product, but also of after sales service, quality of management, the company itself and the human being.

		According to Kaoru Ishikawa it's a system of production methods, which economically produces quality goods or services meeting the requirements of consumers.
		The last and final question to ask yourself is what would a fishbone diagram do for me? It would assist you in the identification and listing of all the possible causes that produce problems.
