Deming Prize 2007
India continues to shine with Deming Prizes (and of course there economy and stock market have been doing pretty well too). Companies based in India took home both Deming Prizes this year and the Japan Quality Medal. Countries of organizations receiving the Deming Prize since 2000 (prior to that almost all winners were from Japan):

The 2007 Deming Prizes went to Asahi India Glass Limited, Auto Glass Division and Rane (Madras) Limited. Three different divisions of Rane received awards in the previous the last 4 years, making this Rane’s fourth prize in 5 years.The 2007 Japan Quality Medal went to Mahindra & Mahindra Limited, Farm Equipment Sector.
The 2007 Deming Prize for Individuals went to Mr. Masayoshi Ushikubo, Chairman, Sanden Corporation. The Sanden International portion of Sanden was the third USA based organization to win a prize in 2006 (prior winners were: Florida Power & Light Company in 1989 and AT&T Power Systems in 1993). I mentioned India’s economy and stock market above, China’s economy and stock market are doing amazingly well also and then have yet to have a Deming Prize winner. I hope China, USA and many another countries can follow India’s current performance in this area. Deming Prizes are not awarded on a quota or forced ranking basis - any deserving applicants in any year can receive a prize.

The Deming Prize Winners for India 2000-03
IBEF: December 24, 2004


//-->
Between 2000-2003, nine Indian companies won the coveted Deming Prize, a byword in excellence and quality. Only two companies outside Japan were conferred the highest Deming Award: Japan Quality Medal. Sundaram- Clayton, Brakes Division, was one of them.
During the same period, seventeen companies successfully challenged the Deming Application Prize; of these, six were Indian companies. Only two companies were given the Deming Quality Control Award for Operations Business Unit; both Indian companies, viz, Birla Cellulosic and Hi-Tech Carbon.
We therefore consider it worthy to bring the stories of the journeys covered by the Indian companies in their pursuit of the Deming Prize. These case studies effectively capture the milestones benchmarked by Indian industry in their evolution towards achieving excellence, inspiring many more companies both in India and abroad, to emulate them and collaborate with them as business partners.

Taguchi methods are statistical methods developed by Genichi Taguchi to improve the quality of manufactured goods, and more recently also applied to biotechnology[1], marketing and advertising. Taguchi methods are considered controversial among some traditional Western statisticians, but others accept many of his concepts as being useful additions to the body of knowledge.
Taguchi's principal contributions to statistics are:
Taguchi loss-function;
The philosophy of off-line quality control; and
Innovations in the design of experiments.
