Jidoka

Juran
Dr. Juran first began developing a philosophy of quality in 1926 when he started working for the quality inspections division at Western Electric. He theorized that the field really depended on human factors, especially the work of managers, and that quality problems should be solved systemically. Juran first became well known in the quality field in the US as the editor of the Quality Control Handbook (1951) and later for his paper introducing the quality trilogy - planning, control and improvement. He developed the Pareto principle, named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, which observes that 80% of the problems in management arise from 20% of causes.
