	NC Shingo Prize (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Shigeo Shingo is perhaps a lesser known Quality Guru in the West, although his impact on Japanese industry, and less directly on Western industry, has been very large.
		Shingo was born in Saga City, Japan in 1909, and graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Yamanashi Technical College in 1930, whereupon he was employed by the Taipei Railway Factory in Taiwan.
		Shingo emphasised the practical achievement of zero defects by good engineering and process investigation, rather than an exhortation/slogan emphasis that has been associated with the quality campaigns of many American and Western companies.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Shigeo Shingo
		Shigeo Shingo (1909-1990) was a Japanese industrial engineer who was one of the lesser-known but still highly regarded people to work with quality systems, compared to W. Shingo co-invented or taught him all this somehow is simply erroneous and lacks any factual perspective regarding the actual sequence of events from the period.
		Shingo vividly described in his SMED book was actually in historical hindsight on one of the last machines in the company to be converted to single minute changeover performance.
		Shigeo Shingo was born in 1909 at Saga City, Japan where he attended the Saga Technical High School.

	Superfactory Article: Shingo's Influence on TPS by Art Smalley and Isao Kato (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Shingo was at Toyota we would introduced the concepts to him for study, feedback, etc. He often did provide very good ideas but he was commenting on what we were doing and not actually inventing it himself or leading the activity.
		Shingo to the attention of the western world commented that Shingo did much in the Toyota supplier community that is not covered in the article.
		It appears from Shingo’s bibliography however that he made a “presentation” to the Japan Management Association in 1946 regarding the difference between “process” and “operations” which he had previously thought to be separate entities and he now viewed them as a “parallel network of processes and operations”.

	SMED (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Shingo asked one of the workers was what going on and he replied that “one of the mounting bolts for the new die was missing”.
		From his analysis, Shingo found that the 800-ton press was utilized in the main operation for less than 3% of an entire day.
		Shingo observed that the marking-off procedure for dimensioning and centering the engine bed was being performed on the planer table itself.

	Shigeo Shingo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Having learned about and made considerable use of statistical QC in his 40s, it was some 20 years later, in 1977, that Shingo observed that the Shizuoko plant of Matsushita's Washing Machine Division had succeeded continuously for one month with zero defects on a drain pipe assembly line with involvement of 23 workers.
		Shingo advocated the practical application of zero defects by good engineering and process investigation, rather than slogans and exhortations that have been associated with the quality campaigns of many American and Western companies.
		Shingo, like Deming and Juran, argued that such American approaches of displaying defects statistics were misguiding and demoralising.

	A Brief Tutorial
		Shigeo Shingo was one of the industrial engineers at Toyota who has been credited with creating and formalizing Zero Quality Control (ZQC), an approach to quality management that relies heavily on the use of poka-yoke (pronounced POH-kah YOH-kay) devices.
		Shingo's concern was that the inspections may not occur soon enough after production to give the best information necessary to determine the cause of the quality problem so that it can be prevented in the future.
		Indeed, according to Shingo [Shingo, 1986, p.71], "Defects will never be reduced if the workers involved do not modify operating methods when defects occur." The willingness to take corrective action is a function of the attitude and commitment of both managers and workers, not an intrinsic attribute of a particular approach to quality management.

	Got Boondoggle?
		In this quote from Shigeo Shingo’s book “Kaizen and the Art of Creative Thinking”, we hear about asking why again but for a different purpose.
		Unlike the other great Shingo books which were more lean tool driven, “Kaizen and the Art of Creative Thinking” focuses on the thinking portion of problem solving, making improvements and meeting opposition to the guardians of the status quo.
		Shigeo Shingo is a genius and has a gift for teaching.
