What Deming taught the Japanese was largely common sense.
1. Make sure that people can take pride in what they do.
2. Make sure that you use the intelligence of the workforce.
3. Treat them like human beings.
By using a set of basic principles Deming began through his teaching to build quality into Japanese industry instead of having it as a post production bolt on. Deming was hugely influential in Japan but largely ignored in America until the airing of a TV programme in the 1980's called ?If Japan can, why can't we??
As he said in 1992, America was in more trouble than Japan had been at the end of the war because at least Japan had known how much trouble it was in Rick Nash Bruins Jersey , America did not.
Deming's teachings began to gain credibility in Europe not only for their common sense but for the demonstrable history of achievement that he brought from Japan.
Deming died in 1993 a disappointed man. He thought his teachings would be a virus that would take off on their own. He was frustrated that industry in Europe and North America was still largely ignoring what he knew to be true in their pursuit of traditional control and individual status.
In the UK today there is centred in Ampthill, Bedfordshire a forum called the Deming Forum. The locus is a group dedicated to the preservation of the Deming Legacy and the continued implementation of his ideas.
The forum use the same language that we have now become accustomed to.
?Deming feels instinctively right?
?You cannot change people but people can choose to change?
?Human capital is the most important capital?
?3% of problems have figures, 97% do not. It is people who count not the figures?
?Explain Gently?
?Everyone is a leader?
?Remove the barriers that stop people from being as good as they can be?
?Get rid of the Slogans?
Deming espouses a different way of working that is about people and developing people.
It is about understanding the relationships between the soft issues and the hard facts to transform the way that a business is run.
It is about reaping the huge financial and personal benefits when we give people the respect and support that as valuable individuals each member of the workforce deserves.

Tools needed:
1 - 10cc Injector
1 - 4" - 5" of fish tank air line tubing (Wal*Mart fish department) Windex (No Drip works best)
We are going to flush the print head out with the Windex cleaner. Some people from outside the US may not know about Windex. It is a popular window cleaner sold here in the US. This fix is not authorized by Epson Jake DeBrusk Bruins Jersey , it should only be used as a last ditch effort to fix your printer.
Cut four or five inches of fish tank air line tubing and attach it to the end of the injector, remove the needle first. Pull 3 - 5 cc of Windex into the injector. Hold the injector so that the tubing is pointing up and push the plunger a little until all the air is out of the tubing. You don't want to inject any air into the cartridge. Put this assembly aside for now.
Turn your printer on and hold down the paper feed button until the carriage moves to the cartridge change position. Unplug the printer. This is important, you don't want the carriage to move in the middle of the procedure.
Remove the cartridge that is giving you trouble. Look inside the carriage cavity for a small post that would normally be inserted into the ink port of the cartridge Charlie McAvoy Bruins Jersey , in other words the post that supplies ink to the print head. You may need a flashlight to see it.
Attach the other end of the tubing (which is attached to the injector) to the post inside the carriage cavity. Be very careful not to break the post. If you do, GAME OVER. There is very little room to work but do the best you can. Try to get the tubing on the post firmly for an airtight connection. Slowly inject about 2cc of the Windex solution into the print head. Some of the Windex might leak out around the post, just try to get at least 2 cc injected into the print head. It may offer resistance Torey Krug Bruins Jersey , just be patient. Repeat this procedure for any other color that is not printing. Make sure to wash the tubing between each color.
Put in a brand new cartridge, not refilled. Don't ignore this step or chances are the procedure will fail. New generic cartridges are ok.
Move the carriage back to the right position and plug in the printer. Run three cleaning cycles with a nozzle check before and after. If there is still a problem try running another three cleaning cycles. Then try a test print. If it still has problems let the printer sit over night and repeat the procedure. If the second day procedure fails then it's time for the Epson repair shop, or buy a new one.
Sometimes this procedure will not work David Krejci Bruins Jersey , we're not sure why. It may be because there are other problems with the printer, not just clogged nozzles.
