Profiles in Quality Learning From the Masters

This book traces the history and development of the Quality movement by focusing on its early authorities and by comparing, contrasting, and placing their theories in a modern context. The author's "Rings of Management" shows how the various philosophies can be synthesized into a strong unified effort.
