The Seven Deadly Diseases describe Dr. Deming’s views on what can inhibit the transformation from business-as-usual to world-class quality .
1. Lack of constancy of purpose to plan products and services that have a market sufficient to keep the company in business and provide jobs.
2. Emphasis on short-term profits; short4erm thinking that is driven by a fear of unfriendly takeover attempts and pressure from bankers and shareholders to produce dividends.
3. Personal review systems for managers and management by objectives without providing methods of resources to accomplish objectives. Performance evaluations, merit ratings, and annual appraisals are all part of it – its disease.
4. Job hopping by managers.
5. Using only visible data and information in decision making with little or no consideration given to what is not known or cannot be known.
6. Excessive medical costs.
7. Excessive costs of liability driven up by lawyers who work on contingency fees.
