Could any of the wisdom from Deming apply to non factory parts of Merck?

Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the work force.

Eliminate work standards (quotas) on the factory floor. Substitute with leadership.

Eliminate management by objective. Eliminate management by numbers and numerical goals. Instead substitute with leadership.

Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company.

It absolutely could. Pharma has used the exact business model for 100 yrs. it was very successful for many years.
The entire medical behemoth changed slowly but drastically and Pharma, with all their arrogance, superiority, inertia and stupidity refused to recognize the inevitable. Companies hired armies of reps, continued entertaining doctors who were slowly but surely losing their power and autonomy to insurance companies, PBM’s, and their formularies in the never ending quest for share of voice. Reps were reduced to walking billboards, talking heads, caterers and event planners, as we are today. Drs.are sick of the multitude of reps bending their ears with the company bullshit. They use us to keep their office staffs happy with our lunches.
Most of the prescribing and sales decisions are no longer made by doctors.
They write for what they will be incented on by the patient’s insurance coverage.
Even CVS now controls much of the seniors’ prescriptions via the insurance companies.
We’re rapidly becoming obsolete and the reason is we continue with “business as usual.”
Change is long overdue. I believe it’s too late. Hope I’m wrong.

Yeah, great. Pure bs from a far left moron. Sounds like Sanders giving anyone who doesn’t want to work a govt job.
Let’s socialize business. No standards, goals, just do whatever you call a day’s work; determine what you call quality and quantity. You get the same pay whether you perform your tasks successfully or not. It’s the strong carrying the weak, what this country does too much of. What Deming is promoting is simply corporate welfare.
Substitute with leadership? Please explain, define.
The only people that are afraid are those that don’t do what they were hired to do. Most people do that, but many do not.
Subtle fear can be a powerful motivator; much like the “ positive pressure” theory of sales.

The fact that you need to have the concept of leadership explained speaks volumes. Ask for the online training, that should be about right for your level of perception.

Now that was the response of a 12 yr. old. Exposed for what you are. Go back to sucking your thumb.

Worked in Japan, but not here. Different culture. Believe in the honor of work and quality.
Not a belief of many Americans, as evidenced by the 48% living on the dole.

This. And in a bygone era.
