Summary: Enjoyable and Enlightening
Comment: Juran is known as a Quality "guru", but this book makes clear that he made significant contributions to management theory, human resources management and consulting as well. The historical perspectives provided by such a distinguished leader in these areas is illuminating. The book is a fast read, and is focused on his professional journey, with only a little about his life outside work (I would have liked more about this side of his life). His affection for the United States, and his work with the Japanese come through as high points.

Rating: 5
Summary: Will appeal to any interested in the quality concept
Comment: This autobiography of Dr. Juran, who overcame childhood tragedy to make an impact on business and society, examines his career and work life with an eye to showing how they influenced his professional development and eventual reputation in the business management world. His concepts of quality eventually became a part of businesses around the world: Architect Of Quality will appeal to any interested in how the quality concept became embedded in the business plan.

Rating: 5
Summary: An interesting look at the man who brought us Quality
Comment: This book was a real eye opener for me. I know a little about the Quality world -- and Juran is the #1 man in Quality.

He pulled the tools together into one place for identification of waste, putting the ideas into forms management could understand, and developing problem solving methods for fixing it.

It was really interesting to see where this man came from and how his concepts and ideas came together.

Easy reading and the sort of book that will make you want to dig into his other heavier management and engineering books.
