Awantura o CPK. Lasek punktuje Nawrockiego, wkrótce raport NIK

Posłanka Partii Razem komentuje projekt prezydenckiej ustawy o Centralnym Porcie Komunikacyjnym i wzywa do rzeczowej debaty ponad partyjnymi podziałami.To nie jest projekt PiS-u, Lewicy czy Platformy. To jest projekt dla Polski – dla dużych miast, ale i dla tych średnich i mniejszych. I tego właśnie oczekują obywatele– mówi Paulina Matysiak, komentując prezydencki projekt ustawy o Centralnym Porcie Komunikacyjnym.Podczas konferencji w Kaliszu, gdzie prezydent Karol Nawrocki ogłosił swoją pierwszą inicjatywę ustawodawczą, Paulina Matysiak przemawiała w imieniu środowisk wspierających pełną realizację CPK.Cieszę się, że prezydent dotrzymuje słowa z kampanii. Projekt ustawy, który złożył, odpowiada na oczekiwania bardzo dużej części Polaków – zarówno jego wyborców, jak i tych, którzy głosowali inaczej– zaznacza.Czas na ambitne planyPosłanka ostro krytykuje decyzję rządu o ograniczeniu projektu do tzw. linii Y (Warszawa–Łódź–Poznań przez Kalisz). To nie jest projekt dla czterech aglomeracji. Polska to także mniejsze miejscowości. Nie możemy wykluczać ich z rozwoju– mówi.Dla mnie szczególnie istotne są nowe linie kolejowe. Transport publiczny powinien być szybki, wygodny i dostępny nie tylko dla mieszkańców dużych miast– dodaje.Rząd mówi: cofnięcieMinister infrastruktury Dariusz Klimczak zarzucił prezydenckiemu projektowi „cofanie kraju”, m.in. przez ograniczenie prędkości pociągów do 250 km/h zamiast 320. Paulina Matysiak odpiera te zarzuty:To nadal bardzo szybki pociąg. Po pierwsze, nie mamy dziś infrastruktury dla 320 km/h. Po drugie – nie wiemy, ile to będzie kosztować, jaki będzie koszt energii, ani kto wyprodukuje tabor– zaznacza polityczka.Zamiast haseł, potrzebujemy konkretów. Chcę, żebyśmy w Sejmie o tym projekcie rozmawiali merytorycznie– dodaje.Ponad politycznymi podziałami? Choć Paulina Matysiak reprezentuje lewicowe skrzydło parlamentu, nie kryje przekonania, że w sprawie CPK możliwe jest porozumienie ponad podziałami.Z Marcinem Horałą, choć bardzo się różnimy, współprzewodniczymy stowarzyszeniu „Ruch Społeczny Tak dla Rozwoju”. Tu nie chodzi o politykę. Tu chodzi o Polskę– tłumaczy posłanka.W takich sprawach powinniśmy szukać sojuszników, nie przeciwników. A jeśli więcej posłów tak by działało, to może mielibyśmy mniej jałowych kłótni i więcej sensownych projektów– zauważa.Apel do obywateliPaulina Matysiak nie ukrywa, że przyszłość projektu zależy także od presji społecznej: Zachęcam państwa: piszcie do posłów ze swoich regionów, pytajcie ich o stanowisko, domagajcie się głosu.Jej zdaniem obecna większość rządowa boi się tego tematu.Projekt obywatelski został wyrzucony z komisji infrastruktury w skandaliczny sposób, bez debaty. Prezydencki projekt to szansa na powrót do dyskusji– mówi.„Ten projekt nie zniknie z debaty publicznej”Paulina Matysiak zapowiada, że będzie zabiegać o poparcie projektu ustawy po wakacyjnej przerwie Sejmu.Walka o CPK trwa. I nie skończy się na tej konferencji. Chcemy tej inwestycji, będziemy o nią walczyć. Pan minister Maciej Lasek, największy krytyk CPK, dziś mówi, że projekt został naprawiony. A przecież został opóźniony. Z 2028 na 2032, może nawet 2035 rok. To nie jest żadna naprawa – to strata czasu.Posłanka Partii Razem uważa, że prezydencki projekt to nie symboliczny gest, ale realna propozycja: To pierwszy test nowego układu politycznego. I dla prezydenta, i dla parlamentu. To będzie reality check.

- W poprzedniej kadencji Sejmu minister Maciej Lasek był członkiem zespołu przeciwko CPK, a następnie został powołany na pełnomocnika rządu. To tak, jakby budowę domu powierzyć firmie rozbiórkowej - mówił w Polskim Radiu 24 poseł PiS Paweł Jabłoński.

"Chciałbym zobaczyć ten projekt. Ale jeżeli będzie on taki sam jak poprzedni, to on się nie nadaje, by go wprowadzić pod obrady Sejmu" - mówił w Porannej rozmowie w RMF FM Maciej Lasek, pełnomocnik rządu ds. Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego. W ten sposób odniósł się do zapowiedzi prezydenta Karola Nawrockiego, który chce dziś złożyć projekt ustawy ws. CPK.

Prezes stowarzyszenia "TAK dla CPK" komentuje słowa Prezydenta RP Karola Nawrockiego o inicjatywie przywrócenia pierwotnego planu CPK. Karol Nawrocki w swoim orędziu podczas Zgromadzenia Narodowego przyznał, że zamierza przywrócić pierwotny plan CPK, który został wstępnie odrzucony w lutym tego roku. Maciej Wilk mówi, że nowa kadencja na stanowisku głowy państwa może być powiewem świeżości w Pałacu Prezydenckim:Wydaje mi się, że wszyscy przywykliśmy do prezydenta, który jest tym słynnym strażnikiem żyrandola i nie wykazuje specjalnej inicjatywy. Obecnie jednak wynika, że tutaj pewne dogmaty będą zrywane. Politykę gospodarczą kraju prowadzi rząd, to jest jasne, ale we współpracy z prezydentem. Prezydent ma szereg narzędzi nacisku na rząd na czele z prawem VET-a, z radą gabinetową, mandat demokratyczny i autorytet wynikający z urzędu. Jaśmina Nowak prosi o reakcję na słowa Macieja Laska. Poseł stwierdził, że prezydent powinien zmienić swoich doradców w sprawie Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego. Ekspert lotniczy wskazuje, że nie można brać ich za szczere:Maciej Lasek wykonuje swoją rolę, nie zawsze jest prawdomówny. Ostatnio zamieścił w internecie wpis, że obecny rząd odszedł od koncepcji centralistycznej, w której linie kolejowe CPK zbiegają się w szczerym polu w Baranowie. To są jakieś fantazmaty niemające związku z rzeczywistością, nigdy takiego planu nie było. To są resztki narracji, które utkwiły panu ministrowi w głowie, kiedy jeszcze pełnił funkcję lidera ruchu STOP CPK.Prezes stowarzyszenia oznajmia, że Centralny Port Komunikacyjny to nie jedyna inicjatywa, którą będzie zajmował się sztab Macieja Wilka. Nowych aktywności możemy spodziewać się już na jesieni:Interesuję się tematem portów morskich, i elektrowni atomowej, farm wiatrowych, dalszych rozwoju dróg, całego szeregu ważnych inicjatyw gospodarczych czy infrastrukturalnych. Takie jest stanowisko naszego stowarzyszenia. I tutaj nie odsłaniając za wiele kart, to nadchodzący sezon jesienny. Planujemy aktywność nie tylko w temacie samego CPK, ale też w innych kluczowych projektach.

Poseł Prawa i Sprawiedliwości komentuje wydarzenia związane z zaprzysiężeniem Karola Nawrockiego, reakcje polityków, a także plany w sprawie ustawy o CPK. 

W czwartek 7 sierpnia w PB Brief mówimy o wcześniejszym wylocie bocianów, powrocie wielkiego CPK i kontrowersyjnych manewrach Rosji na Białorusi. Do tego: akcjonariat dla franczyzobiorców Avii, prezydencka emerytura i wyniki portfela Inwestora Wojtka.

Publicysta komentuje pierwsze wystąpienie nowego prezydenta Karola Nawrockiego. Mówi o mocnym stylu, suwerennościowej wizji i ryzykownym podejściu do polityki wewnętrznej oraz zagranicznej.Nowy styl prezydentury Marcin Makowski podkreśla, że Karol Nawrocki już w pierwszych minutach swojego orędzia odciął się od stylu poprzedników. Mówił bez kartki, emocjonalnie, mocno – zwracając się bezpośrednio do narodu i akcentując swoją niezależność od politycznych układów.To nie jest prezydent stricte polityczny. Nie dorastał w środowisku elit. Wyszedł z innych doświadczeń – naukowych, kibicowskich. Jest inny, bardziej intuicyjny. I od razu wszedł w konfrontację- zauważa rozmówca Jasminy Nowak.Współpraca z rządem TuskaPrezydenckie wystąpienie było – zdaniem publicysty – wyraźnie antyrządowe. Padły ostre zarzuty wobec Donalda Tuska i jego gabinetu, szczególnie w kwestiach obronności, CPK czy polityki gospodarczej. Jednocześnie, jak podkreśla Marcin Makowski, Nawrocki próbował pokazać się jako polityk bliski obywatelom:Wysiadł z limuzyny, witał się z ludźmi, szedł przez Warszawę. To gesty, których wcześniej nie widzieliśmy u urzędujących prezydentów. Milczenie mediów publicznych Jednym z najmocniejszych symbolicznych zgrzytów dnia zaprzysiężenia był brak transmisji orędzia na głównej antenie TVP. W tym czasie emitowano odcinek serialu "Komisarz Aleks".To było działanie celowe. Najważniejsze wydarzenie polityczne roku zostało zlekceważone przez media publiczne. Misja TVP, nawet w likwidacji, zobowiązuje do czegoś więcej - mówi Marcin Makowski dodając, że ton komentarzy w TVP Info był ironiczny, pełen złośliwości, przypominający czasy ostrej walki z opozycją – tyle że z odwróconymi rolami.Szansa na współpracę z rządem? Publicysta zauważa, że choć prezydent Nawrocki deklarował możliwość współpracy z rządem w sprawach fundamentalnych, jego orędzie było w dużej mierze polemiczne i oskarżycielskie:To chyba najmocniejsze przemówienie prezydenckie w historii III RP. Nie było w nim szukania zgody. Była odpowiedź na wcześniejsze ataki.Gość "Poranka Wnet" nie ma złudzeń – czeka nas prawdopodobnie polityczna wojna, a nie konstruktywny dialog.Prezydent suwerennościowy – jak bardzo?Marcin Makowski zwraca też uwagę na silnie antyunijną retorykę Nawrockiego. Prezydent mówi językiem „suwerennościowego realizmu” – bliskim temu, co przez lata prezentowało Prawo i Sprawiedliwość.To nie jest prezydent proeuropejski. Raczej ktoś, kto zakłada, że z Unią nie da się wiele wynegocjować. Twarda gra – ale pytanie, czy będzie skuteczna?- uważa rozmówca Jaśminy Nowak. Kluczowym testem będzie zdolność Nawrockiego do prowadzenia realnej polityki zagranicznej i budowania zespołu doradców. Jak przypomina Marcin Makowski, Andrzej Duda miał problem z utrzymywaniem wyrazistych współpracowników. Od Nawrockiego zależy, czy będzie solistą, czy liderem zespołu.Historyk w Pałacu – jaka polityka pamięci?Nie da się zapomnieć, że nowy prezydent jest byłym szefem IPN i dyrektorem Muzeum II Wojny Światowej. Czy jego prezydentura będzie silnie nacechowana polityką historyczną?To już widać. Nawrocki kontynuuje narodowo-patriotyczną narrację, w której nie ma miejsca na afirmację niejednoznacznych postaci, takich jak 'nasi chłopcy' z Wehrmachtu. Taki prezydent został wybrany. I nie udaje, że jest kimś innym.Makowski przestrzega jednak, by nie przekroczyć granicy między patriotyzmem a wykluczającym nacjonalizmem. Na razie – jego zdaniem – Nawrocki balansuje dobrze. Prezydent inny niż wszyscyKarol Nawrocki nie zamierza być kolejnym Andrzejem Dudą. Nie przemawia jak zawodowy polityk, nie zabiega o konsensus za wszelką cenę. Czy to dobrze? To – jak mówi Marcin Makowski – zależy od dalszego rozwoju sytuacji:Pytanie, czy jest mocny tylko w słowach, czy również w czynach. Polityka to gra zespołowa – a my dopiero zaczynamy pierwszy mecz.

Dużo takiej pustej retoryki – mówi Szymon Huptyś ze stowarzyszenia Tak dla CPK, komentując zapowiedzi rządu o wspieraniu polskich firm m.in. przy realizacji Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego. Ogłoszony z opóźnieniem przetarg na terminal pasażerski Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego oraz formuła dialogu konkurencyjnego budzą wątpliwości co do realnego wsparcia dla polskich firm– ocenia Szymon Huptyś ze stowarzyszenia Tak dla CPK. W ten sposób odpowiedział na pytanie o ogłaszaną przez Donalda Tuska repolonizację i to, że ten rząd będzie wspierał polskie firmy.Zgodnie z pierwotnymi założeniami CPK miał być już dawno budowany, ale niestety teraz mamy do czynienia z bardzo dużymi opóźnieniami.Spodziewamy się, że wybór wykonawcy nastąpi raczej dopiero w przyszłym roku, być może nawet w jego drugiej połowie. To by oznaczało, że budowa terminala ruszy dopiero w 2027 r. A przecież jeszcze trzy lata temu zakładano, że cały port zostanie oddany do użytku w 2028 albo 2029 roku– mówi.Odnosząc się do rządowej narracji o repolonizacji, Huptyś ocenił, że jest w niej „dużo pustej retoryki”.Rząd dostrzegł, że nastroje społeczne sprzyjają wspieraniu polskich przedsiębiorstw, więc wszedł w tę narrację, ale za słowami nie poszły czyny– zaznaczył.Brak refleksji i wsparciaW jego opinii „komponent kolejowy CPK pokazuje, że nie nastąpiła żadna refleksja. Ten gospodarczy impuls, który miał iść z CPK, raczej nie zostanie wykorzystany na rzecz polskich firm w większym stopniu, niż planowano od początku”.Ekspert wskazuje też na problemy z dostępem polskich wykonawców do przetargu: „Na początku postawiono bardzo rygorystyczne warunki dla firm chcących wziąć udział w dialogu konkurencyjnym. Później je nieco złagodzono, ale zdaniem firm, które składały protesty, te zmiany były niewystarczające”.Krajowa Izba Odwoławcza kilka dni temu oddaliła zażalenia tych firm. Inwestor oczywiście wyraził zadowolenie z takiego rozstrzygnięcia. Pytanie, czy firmy zdecydują się teraz na ścieżkę sądową – mają do tego prawo, ale to może ponownie opóźnić cały proces inwestycyjny– powiedział Huptyś.Podkreślił też potrzebę modyfikacji warunków przetargowych.Tzw. SIWZ-y, czyli szczegółowe warunki zamówienia, powinny być konstruowane w taki sposób, aby polskie firmy miały realną możliwość startu w tych postępowaniach– zaznaczył.

In this episode, we discuss the evidence, safety, and place in therapy of Journavx® (suzetrigine), a newly approved analgesic with a unique non-opioid mechanism of action and additional considerations for its use. Key Concepts Suzetrigine is a first in its class NaV1.8 sodium channel blocker approved for short-term (14 days or less) pain relief in adults with moderate-to-severe pain. Unlike opioids, suzetrigine is non-sedating and non-dependence forming. Suzetrigine is taken as a whole pill without cutting, crushing, or chewing following a particular dosing schedule where the first dose is taken on an empty-stomach.  The most common side effects of suzetrigine include pruritus, muscle spasms, increased CPK, rash, and transient (reversible) eGFR decrease. Suzetrigine goes through CYP3A metabolism and therefore has significant interactions with CYP3A inducers and inhibitors. Use with strong inhibitors and moderate to strong inducers is not recommended. Dose reduction of suzetrigine is required if used with moderate inhibitors of CYP3A.  Although not formally adopted in a guideline recommendation, suzetrigine's current place in therapy can be moderate-to-severe acute pain relief in adult patients after NSAIDs/APAP options are exhausted, but before or in place of opioid therapy.  References Bertoch T, D'Aunno D, McCoun J, et al.

Turystyka w Polsce będzie w nadchodzących latach dynamicznie się rozwijać — jako naród lubimy podróżować, choć robimy to znacznie rzadziej niż Niemcy, Brytyjczycy czy Francuzi. Te różnice, wraz ze wzrostem zamożności Polaków, będą się systematycznie zmniejszać. Możemy nawet stać się jednym z najchętniej podróżujących narodów w Europie — mówi Grzegorz Polaniecki, dyrektor generalny i współzałożyciel Enter Air.Od debiutu giełdowego akcje Enter Air wzrosły o kilkaset procent, a firma stała się drugą największą czarterową linią lotniczą w Europie. W najnowszym odcinku podcastu Procent Składany, Grzegorz Polaniecki odsłania kulisy prowadzenia linii lotniczej — mówi o specyfice branży, ryzykach, rachunkowości, zarządzaniu efektywnością i tym, jak dba o rentowność spółki, dzięki czemu inwestorzy mogą liczyć na dywidendy.Dlaczego ceny biletów lotniczych są takie, jakie są? Kto naprawdę ponosi koszty CO₂ i dlaczego obecny system opłat jest jego zdaniem nieefektywny? Czy budowa Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego ma sens i jak należałoby ją zrealizować, by była opłacalna? Rozmawiamy o tym wszystkim w środku sezonu turystycznego.Minuty:01:25 – Jak Polakom i inwestorom kojarzy się Enter Air03:20 – Skąd wziął się pomysł na czarterowe linie lotnicze04:50 – Geopolityka i kryzysy polityczne a biznes lotniczy06:30 – Różnice między liniami czarterowymi a rejsowymi09:30 – Niuanse księgowości linii lotniczych12:20 – Rozwój Enter Air od debiutu na GPW16:45 – Przejęcia w branży lotniczej20:45 – Perspektywy dla turystyki w Polsce25:30 – Czy budowa CPK ma sens?30:30 – Najlepsze strategie rozwoju w branży turystycznej32:00 – Co najmocniej wpływa na cenę biletu35:30 – Koszty CO₂ a biznes lotniczy37:40 – Niuanse i pułapki kupowania biletów43:00 – Przyszłość Enter Air

W dzisiejszym odcinku PB Brief mówimy, co oznaczają nowe przepisy BHP dla pracodawców, czy działania rządu zakłócą łańcuchy dostaw i jak realnie zmieni się koszt pieniądza po decyzji NBP. Sprawdzamy też, czy zielona energia naprawdę wypiera węgiel i jak CPK próbuje pogodzić oczekiwania lokalnych firm z globalną konkurencją.

CPK utknął w miejscu, a rząd mówi o sukcesach, których nie widać – twierdzi w Poranku Radia Wnet Paweł Milczarski. Były szef LOT ostrzega przed kosztownym opóźnieniem strategicznej inwestycji.Centralny Port Komunikacyjny jest opóźniony o co najmniej dwa lata, projekt kolejowy praktycznie zatrzymany, a prywatni inwestorzy wycofali się z planów współpracy – alarmuje w Radiu Wnet Paweł Milczarski, były prezes LOT i przedstawiciel Stowarzyszenia Tak dla CPK.Były szef LOT podkreśla, że inwestorzy prywatni, którzy byli wcześniej zainteresowani udziałem w budowie CPK, zrezygnowali i zainwestowali w gdzie indziej.Straciliśmy inwestorów do naszego projektu, którzy się ostatecznie wycofali, a teraz inwestują w lotnisko w Budapeszcie– tłumaczy Milczarski.Inwestowanie projektuWedług niego, zastąpienie prywatnych inwestorów spółką PPL to jedynie PR-owy zabieg, który nie zmieni realiów finansowych inwestycji.To nie powoduje, że projekt jest „bankowalny”– podkreśla były prezes LOT. Wytłumaczył, że „banowalny” oznacza nic innego, jak uwiarygodnienie inwestycji, ponieważ w momencie, „kiedy w istotnym projekcie państwowym jest obecny prywatny inwestor, to jakby z dorozumienia ten projekt przechodzi test prywatnego inwestora”.Czytaj więcej:Raport na temat CPKWczoraj Stowarzyszeni Tak dla CPK opublikowało w czwartek raport na temat inwestycji. Dokument jest dostępny na stronie takdlacpk.org.To nie jest długi dokument – ma 110 stron – i warto go przeczytać, bo jest merytoryczny i opisuje fakty– zachęca Milczarski.

Rząd zredukował program kolejowy Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego o 75 proc. – przypomina Szymon Huptyś ze Stowarzyszenia Tak dla CPK.  W jego ocenie decyzje podjęte pod koniec 2024 roku prowadzą do infrastrukturalnego i społecznego wykluczenia wielu regionów kraju. Przypomnę, że w 2023 roku program wieloletni Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego zakładał budowę 2000 km nowych linii kolejowych. Ostatniego dnia ubiegłego roku przyjęto nowelizację tego programu, która ścięła ten zakres o 75 proc. [… ]Uważamy jako stowarzyszenie, że obcięcie o 75 proc. programu kolejowego Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego jest niedopuszczalne i szkodliwe, a przede wszystkim wykluczające. Wiele miast i miasteczek mogło zyskać połączenia kolejowe albo je odzyskać dzięki poprzedniej wersji tego programu– mówił w Poranku Radia Wnet Szymon Huptyś, ze Stowarzyszenia Tak dla CPK. Dodatkowo – jak zaznacza – zagrożony może być także aspekt bezpieczeństwa państwa.Po pierwsze wyklucza pasażerów, bo obejmuje mniej miast. Po drugie wyklucza polskich producentów taboru – przyspieszenie pociągów do 320 km/h wymusi zakupy za granicą. Po trzecie wyklucza średnie miasta – jak Łomża, Giżycko, Busko-Zdrój – które tracą szansę na rozwój– wylicza.Wskazał też na opóźnienie dialogu konkurencyjnego dla wykonawcy terminala oraz na brak decyzji środowiskowej dla linii kolejowej Ostrołęka–Łomża–Giżycko, mimo gotowego wariantu inwestorskiego. W jego ocenie realizacja inwestycji kolejowych w Polsce Wschodniej ma znaczenie strategiczne.Linia rokadowa wzdłuż wschodniej granicy NATO oraz linie dowozowe w kierunku Giżycka i przesmyku suwalskiego są istotne z punktu widzenia bezpieczeństwa państwa. Tak jak dziś działa Via Carpatia, tak samo mogłyby działać nowe linie kolejowe– powiedział.Huptyś odniósł się również do politycznego nadzoru nad projektem.Dziś za CPK odpowiada politycznie człowiek, który wcześniej był jednym z najbardziej aktywnych przeciwników tego projektu. Maciej Lasek był aktywistą akcji „Nie dla CPK”. Ci, którzy razem z nim ją prowadzili, czują się dziś oszukani– stwierdził.Raport Tak dla CPKPrezentacja raportu stowarzyszenia „Tak dla CPK” odbędzie się w środę w Sejmie.O godz. 12 przedstawimy pełną treść raportu podczas posiedzenia zespołu parlamentarnego. O 10:30 odbędzie się konferencja prasowa– zapowiedział Huptyś.

Ed Center and I begin this podcast with a toast. I'm proud to call Ed my friend. I met him a couple years at The Social Study, where we recorded this episode and where my wife, Erin Lim, bartends. From the first time I spoke with Ed, I knew I liked him. His energy and humor and intellect and heart are all boundless. I'm hella drawn to people like Ed. His story begins in Cebu in the Philippines, with his maternal grandmother. Her family was poor and her parents died in the Spanish Flu of the 1910s. That loss plunged the surviving family members into what Ed describes as destitute poverty. Following that tragedy, her older brother signed up to work for the Dole company in Hawaii. Ed's grandmother was 13 at this time, but still, it was decided that she would accompany her brother to the islands to help care for him while he worked the pineapple fields and earned a wage. Ed points out that the Dole Food Company (as it was known at the time) intended these migrant workers to honor their contracts and then go back to their home countries. To that end, the company only hired young men. But Ed's family paid a stranger on their boat $20 to marry his grandmother so that she could join her brother in Hawaii. Ed goes on a sidebar here about the tendency in his family to exaggerate their own history. “Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story,” or so the family saying goes. He returns to the story of his maternal grandmother to share the tale of her younger sister being so distraught about the departure, she hugged her so hard that her flip-flop broke. It was her only pair of shoes. In the Filipino community on Oahu at the time, there was an outsize number of men in relation to women. When Ed's grandfather first set eyes on his grandma, he began to court her. A year later, they asked her older brother if they could get married, and he said no, that she was too young (14 at the time). But they got married anyway, with the understanding that they would wait two more years to live together. They moved in and Ed's grandmother had a new baby, including his mom, every other year for the next 20 years. Like her brother, his grandmother's new husband worked in the pineapple fields for Dole, doing incredibly hard labor. His grandma washed clothes for bachelor workers. The two saved their money and bought plantation property from Dole. The property was affordable enough that they were able to build multiple shacks for the kids to eventually live in. At this point, Ed launches into what he calls “the shadow story” of his family. He learned that shadow story when he was a kid and his mom and aunties were cooking in the kitchen. He'd sit just outside the room pretending to read a book, eavesdropping. There, he learned things like which family members were smoking pot or getting into trouble. But there are more serious elements, which prompts Ed to issue a trigger warning to readers and listeners. His grandmother didn't quite agree to go to Hawaii. When she told her brother no to the idea, he beat her. He did this repeatedly until she acquiesced. But it was in one of these violent melees that his grandmother's flip-flop broke. All this to say that Ed's grandmother didn't have much agency in her life decisions. The last two of her 10 children almost killed her. After number 10, the doctor gave Ed's grandfather an involuntary vasectomy. Ed shares the story of how, on plantation payday, the women and children would hide in the fields with the men guarding them. It was a way to try to protect them from workers in the next village getting drunk and coming in to cause trouble. He summarizes the family history to this point by pointing out the incredible amount of resilience his ancestors carried. Also strength and love. But also, violence. All of those qualities manifested in their and their children's parenting practices. Ed's mom raised her kids in this way. The severity of the abuse waned over generations, but it was there nonetheless. Ed says he was ultimately responsible for his mother's emotions. For many of these reasons, in his adult life, Ed founded The Village Well Parenting. We'll get more into that in Part 2. We back up for Ed to tell the story of how his mom and dad met each other. His dad was in the Army during the war in Vietnam. On a voyage to Asia, his boat took a detour and ended up in Hawaii, where he remained for the next five years. His parents got together and had Ed and his younger brother. They grew up among a much larger Filipino extended family, but Ed didn't really know his dad's Caucasian family, who lived on the East Coast. He's gotten to know them more in his adult life. Ed grew up on Oahu in the Seventies and Eighties. His family was between working class and middle class, and there was always stress about money. But in hindsight, they lived well. We share versions of a similar story—that of parents telling kids that Christmas would be lean, that they didn't have a lot of money (probably true), but that never ended up actually being the case. Both of our recollections was mountains of gifts on December 25. Growing up, Ed was always feminine. He was also athletic. It was a time before Ellen, before Will and Grace, when “athletic” also meant “not gay.” Ed says he wanted to be “not gay,” but he couldn't help who he was. That led to his getting bullied. Moving to the mainland for college meant escape—from his own torment and from that of his peers back on the island. Ed went to UC Davis. He had played competitive soccer in middle school and high school, and because his teams were good, they came to the mainland a couple times. But Davis was a whole other world by the time he arrived to go to college. It was the early Nineties. He took what we call a gap year before coming to California. For him, that meant working. In one of his jobs, he served tables at CPK in Hawaii, where Carol Burnett was one of his regulars. We end Part 1 with Ed's story of his time at UC Davis and not yet accepting his queerness. This Thursday on the podcast, I talk with Megan Rohrer about their new book on the Transgender District in San Francisco. And check back next week for Part 2 with Ed Center. We recorded this podcast at The Social Study in June 2025. Photography by Jeff Hunt

Wiceprezes Stowarzyszenia TAK dla CPK Patryk Wild uważa, że wpadka nowego rzecznika rządu Adama Szłapki z tweetem informującym o oddaniu inwestycji w 2035 r. zawierała realną datę dotyczącą CPK.

Zalane domy, zniszczone drogi, brak perspektyw i ludzi dobrej woli więcej niż państwa. Taki obraz Lądka-Zdroju wyłania się z relacji tych, którzy zostali na miejscu i próbują podnieść się po żywiole.Mijają dziewięć miesięcy od katastrofalnej powodzi, która zniszczyła Lądek-Zdrój i okoliczne miejscowości. Choć woda dawno opadła, wiele domów wciąż nie nadaje się do zamieszkania, a część mieszkańców żyje w hotelach lub u rodziny. Odbudowa postępuje powoli, a systemowej pomocy wciąż nie ma.To były bardzo długie dziewięć miesięcy – dla nas i przede wszystkim dla mieszkańców– mówi Maksymilian Włodarczyk z Fundacji Kordon.Z jednej strony coś się zmieniło, z drugiej – można odnieść wrażenie, że czas się zatrzymał. Staramy się odbudować Lądek-Zdrój, ale to wciąż długi proces. Myślę, że nadal warto tu przyjeżdżać, bo to piękne miasteczko, ale jego mieszkańcy nie mają łatwo– dodaje.Ludzie nie mają gdzie mieszkaćWłodarczyk szacuje, że jeśli chodzi o odbudowę infrastruktury publicznej – dróg, mostów – udało się zrealizować może połowę potrzeb. Dużo gorzej jest w przypadku prywatnych domów.Trudno to ocenić, bo nie mamy pełnych danych. Wspólnie z innymi organizacjami próbujemy to monitorować, ale nie wszyscy zgłaszają swoje potrzeby. Wielu ludzi żyje dziś w ciszy, bez wsparcia– zaznacza.Z kolei Mirosław Sadkowski, właściciel sklepu zoologicznego, w rozmowie Radia Wnet poinformował, że sam musiał odbudować swój biznes. Pomoc państwa? Symboliczna.Dostałem 16 tysięcy złotych z ZUS-u. Całą resztę zrobiłem sam. Pomogli mi wolontariusze, Caritas, Wojsko. Skuli tynki, odkażali sklep, pomagali wynosić muł– wspomina i podkreślił, że  „do dziś niektórzy nie mają gdzie mieszkać”.Kolega, który odwiedził mnie przedwczoraj, nadal mieszka w hotelu. Po prostu nie ma dokąd wrócić– słyszymy w relacji.Państwo zawiodło i udaje, że nie ma problemuZdaniem Sadkowskiego państwo ograniczyło się do „pokazówek i popisówek”.Jeżeli uznajemy, że wojsko i ludzie dobrej woli to państwo – to okej. Ale jeśli nie, to nie wiem, co powiedzieć. Pomoc systemowa? Nie widziałem– mówi.Aleksandra Majcher ze Stowarzyszenia TRATWA działa niedaleko przerwanej tamy. Budynek organizacji, choć oddalony o zaledwie 50 metrów od niej, nie został zniszczony.Byłam wtedy przy rondzie w Stroniu Śląskim. Widziałam, jak przez centrum przepływa ściana wody. Woda niosła drzewa, elementy budynków, latarnie – wszystko. To był żywioł– mówi.Nikt nie ostrzegł przed katastrofąMimo krążących ostrzeżeń, oficjalnego komunikatu o zagrożeniu Majcher nie otrzymała.O pęknięciu tamy dowiedziałam się z ulicy. Straże jeździły, była syrena, ale to wszystko. Dla wielu osób to był szok– podkreśla.TRATWA stara się wspierać lokalną społeczność. Na wiosnę zrealizowali projekt Photo Voice – młodzież opowiadała o rzeczywistości po powodzi za pomocą zdjęć.Droga do szkoły przez zniszczone osiedla, wyburzone domy… W tych fotografiach było dużo dramatyzmu. Ale młodzi ludzie chcą się uczyć, bawić, mieć normalność. Dlatego ważne, by mieli bezpieczną przestrzeń– mówi Majcher.Pomoc od słuchaczy Radia Wnet i Tak dla CPKRadio Wnet i Stowarzyszenie Tak dla CPK wspólnie zaangażowały się w pomoc powodzianom po tragicznej powodzi w 2024 roku. Dzięki hojności darczyńców zebrano ponad 200 tys. złotych, które trafiły do najbardziej potrzebujących. Dziewięć miesięcy po kataklizmie Krzysztof Skowroński, Małgorzata Kleszcz i Hanna Tracz wybrali się do Lądka-Zdroju, by sprawdzić, w jakim stanie znajduje się miasto, czego nadal brakuje mieszkańcom i w jakim stopniu państwo polskie odpowiedziało na potrzeby poszkodowanych.

Zdaniem Pawła Sviniarskiego, twórcy kanału „Dla Pieniędzy” – „mielona propaganda” podawana w łagodny, ale skuteczny sposób dociera do nas codziennie z mediów głównego nurtu. W rozmowie na antenie Radia Wnet Sviniarski wskazał, że wielu odbiorców nie zdaje sobie sprawy z manipulacji, której są poddawani. Jak mówił, sam studiował propagandę na psychologii biznesu i rozpoznaje mechanizmy psychologiczne stosowane w mediach.Wszystkie te techniki obserwuję dziś w realnym życiu– dodał.Jego zdaniem przekaz dominujący w mediach głównego nurtu „zatrważa i zatruwa umysł”. Choć w polskich mediach nie widać głębokiej penetracji kapitału zagranicznego na poziomie formalnym, to według Sviniarskiego przekaz jest głęboko ukształtowany przez zewnętrzne wpływy kulturowe i polityczne.Ja sam, jako młody człowiek, byłem zachwycony nowoczesnością TVN-u. W porównaniu do TVP wyglądał światowo, lepiej niż BBC. Tylko dziś wiemy, czym to było okupione– komentował.Według Sviniarskiego w ostatnich latach pojawił się realny popyt na media alternatywne, takie jak Radio Wnet czy Telewizja Republika.Nie chodzi o to, że głosimy herezje. Po prostu pokazujemy inną perspektywę tych samych zjawisk– zaznaczył.Jako przykład podał Centralny Port Komunikacyjny i energetykę jądrową.Można mówić, że CPK to centralizacja, powrót do socjalizmu. Ale jakoś ta sama centralizacja u Niemca nikomu nie przeszkadza. Tam takie projekty przynoszą państwu miliardowe zyski– mówił.Skrytykował też politykę gospodarczą obecnych władz.Mamy deficyt na poziomie 289 miliardów złotych za jeden tylko rok, a tymczasem odrzucamy kury znoszące złote jajka, uwalamy atom. To znaczy – ktoś go uwala. Nie my– podkreślił.

My uruchomiliśmy po raz pierwszy, przy tak dużej inwestycji, program dobrowolnych nabyć, gdzie były oferowane określone ceny za nieruchomości. Jak komuś nie odpowiadała, to mógł nie zawierać umowyprzypomina Marcin Horała w rozmowie z Magdaleną Uchaniuk.Donald Tusk nie słynie z pracowitości i wiemy, że taka techniczna materia rządzenia państwem go nuży, on się wyżywa w takich gierkach politycznych, żeby tam kogoś upokorzyć, kogoś wyciąć, a to go zajmuje, więc to niewykluczone, że on tej wiedzy po prostu nie ma, bo go to nudzi. w ten sposób gość Radia Wnet snuje pesymistyczną wizję dalszego tempa realizacji CPK. 

Poseł Jarosław Sachajko w Poranku Wnet wylicza szereg działań rządu, które stoją w sprzeczności z twierdzeniami premiera Donalda Tuska. Mówi m.in. o CPK, żegludze na Odrze i PKP Cargo.

Poseł Wolnych Republikanów krytykuje politykę gospodarczą rządu Donalda Tuska: zarzuca zadłużanie kraju, sabotaż inwestycji i oddawanie polskiego przemysłu w ręce zagranicznych podmiotów.Niemiecka koncepcja Mitteleuropy znów aktualna?Jarosław Sachajko wskazuje na decyzje, które — jego zdaniem — szkodzą polskiej gospodarce i bezpieczeństwu państwa.Poseł uważa, że rząd Tuska realizuje niemiecką koncepcję Mitteleuropy z 1915 roku, w której Polska pełni rolę dostarczyciela taniej siły roboczej i odbiorcy niemieckich produktów. Jako przykład podaje przetargi na składy kolejowe dla CPK, gdzie — jak zaznacza — warunki zamówienia są tak skonstruowane, że nie spełniają ich polskie firmy, mimo iż w kraju działają trzy przedsiębiorstwa zdolne do produkcji taboru.Lawinowe zadłużenie państwaGość "Poranka Wnet" zwraca uwagę na pogłębiające się zadłużenie Polski.Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia ma zadłużenie na poziomie 30 miliardów złotych, a 80% środków zostaje wydane do końca lipca. Obsługa długu w 2024 roku już pochłania ponad 100 miliardów złotych— podkreśla, dodając, że kolejne rządy będą musiały mierzyć się z ogromnym ciężarem finansowym.Sabotowane inwestycje strategiczneJarosław Sachajko ostro krytykuje także politykę inwestycyjną rządu. Jako przykład wskazuje na blokowanie projektu Centralnego Portu Komunikacyjnego oraz Suchego Portu w Małaszewiczach, które mogłyby stać się istotnymi źródłami dochodów dla budżetu państwa.Inwestycja w Małaszewiczach za 4 miliardy złotych przynosiłaby rocznie nawet 5 miliardów złotych z ceł— wylicza.Manipulacje wokół wydatków na zbrojeniaOdnosząc się do deklaracji premiera o inwestycjach w przemysł zbrojeniowy, Jarosław Sachajko zarzuca rządowi manipulowanie danymi.Padają wielkie liczby, ale budżet na obronność na 2024 rok nie zostaje zrealizowany — zamiast planowanych 4,2% PKB, wydajemy jedynie 3,7%— zaznacza.Upadek PKP Cargo i osłabianie polskiego tranzytuPoseł zwraca także uwagę na sytuację PKP Cargo, gdzie dochodzi do masowych zwolnień i wprowadzania na rynek zagranicznych przewoźników kolejowych. W jego ocenie to element szerszej polityki wyhamowywania potencjału gospodarczego Polski, w tym osłabiania strategicznego sektora tranzytu towarów.Rafako i spekulacyjne gry na giełdzieJarosław Sachajko odnosi się również do sytuacji spółki Rafako. Przypomina, że po nieprecyzyjnych zapowiedziach premiera o rzekomej pomocy państwa kurs akcji spółki błyskawicznie rośnie, by wkrótce gwałtownie spaść.Wracają masowe bankructwa i wyprowadzanie pieniędzy z Polski— ocenia.Wezwanie do zmiany rząduNa koniec poseł apeluje o konieczność zmiany rządu, podkreślając, że w Polsce nie brakuje specjalistów, którzy są gotowi prowadzić skuteczną politykę prorozwojową i gospodarczo odpowiedzialną.

How does "quality" apply in all areas of an organization? In this final episode of the Misunderstanding Quality series, Bill Bellows and host Andrew Stotz discuss lessons from the first twelve episodes, and the big ah-ha moments that happen when we stop limiting our thinking. TRANSCRIPT 0:00:02.6 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz and I'll be your host as we dive deeper into the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Today I'm continuing my discussion with Bill Bellows, who has spent 31 years helping people apply Dr. Deming's ideas to become aware of how their thinking is holding them back from their biggest opportunities. Today is episode 13 and the title is Quality Management: Don't be limited. Bill, take it away. 0:00:30.5 Bill Bellows: Hey, Andrew. So this is episode. What number did you say it was? 0:00:36.2 Andrew Stotz: 13. Lucky 13. 0:00:38.1 Bill Bellows: Lucky 13. So then for those who are concerned about the use of the number 13, this is episode 14. 0:00:51.0 Andrew Stotz: I thought you're gonna say episode 12A. 0:00:54.7 Bill Bellows: And for those who don't mind the number 13, this is episode 13. And as we talked earlier, if Dr. Deming was to title the episode it would be... It would not be "don't." It would be "do not", do not be limited. So at the start I wanted to go back to review the path we're on. We've been on episode one back in end of May, Quality, Back to the Start. All part of the Misunderstanding Quality series for The Deming Institute. Episode two, we got into the Eight Dimensions of Quality with David Garvin. One of those dimensions was acceptability. 0:01:49.8 Bill Bellows: Another was reliability. Another was I say dependability performance. Okay. And I think it's important in a series about misunderstanding quality to look at the work of David Garvin. Just realize I think it's fascinating to... You move out of the world of the American Society Quality and control charts and whatnot. And that's why I think Garvin's work paints a nice... Gives a nice perspective to not be limited.  And then we got into in the third episode Acceptability and Desirability. Episode four, Pay Attention to Choices and the choice of differentiating acceptability which is I'll take anything which meets requirements, and desirability. 0:02:42.3 Bill Bellows: I want that little doggy in the window. Not any doggy in the window. And then we followed that with episode five, the Red Bead Experiment which for many is their first exposure to Dr. Deming's work. I know when I worked for the Deming Institute for a few years the Red Bead Experiment website was one of one of the most popular pages. I believe another one was the 14 Points for Management. And, personally, I've presented the Red Bead Experiment think just once, just once. And I'm going to be doing it at the 2025 at, let me back up, the Bryce Canyon Deming... The Bryce Canyon...Bryce Canyon Forum. I can't remember the name. It's a partnership between Southern Utah University and The Deming Institute, and we're doing it at Southern Utah University. And on one of those days, I'll be doing the Red Bead Experiment, which takes a lot of time and then studying to present it a few years ago I was getting all the videos that I could find of it, many of them on The Deming Institute web page and none of them have the entire data collection. 0:04:18.5 Bill Bellows: They kind of fast forward through six people putting the... drawing the beads each four times and when you're up on stage trying to do that, I had four people that's, you gotta do a lot of work to make it that exciting. But the reason I present it, I say I present it for a number of reasons. One is to do the classic "The red beads are not caused by the workers are taken separately. They're caused by the system which includes the workers. It's an understanding of variation and introduction to control charts" and all of that is as exposed by Dr. Deming is classic. 0:05:00.7 Bill Bellows: But, I'd like to take it one step further, which is to go back into that desirability thinking and look at the concept that we've talked about of going through the doorway and going past the achievement of zero defects, zero red beads, and realize that there's further opportunities for improvement when you start to look at variation in the white beads. And, that then takes into account how the beads are used. And that gets us into the realm of looking at quality as a system.   Looking at quality with a systems view as opposed... That's good, that's good, that's good. With or without an appreciation on how the bead is used. So anyway, that was episode five. We explored that. Next we got into the differentiation of Category Thinking and Continuum Thinking. 0:05:55.5 Bill Bellows: And for those who haven't listened to it, maybe not in a while, the differentiation is category thinking. Putting things in categories such as red beads and white beads are the... It could be any categories, categories of fruit, categories of religion, categories of political systems. We have categories and then within a category we have variation. We have different. We have apples and oranges and then we have a given type of orange. And then there's variation in the juiciness, ripeness. That's called continuum thinking, which goes back to, if we go back to the red beads and the white beads is notion that the white beads are not uniformly white, not uniform in diameter or weight. 0:06:44.5 Bill Bellows: And, what are the implications there? Well, if we think in terms of categories, red beads and white beads, if all the beads are white have we stopped improving? And Dr. Deming and I believe it was Point 5 of the 14 Points stressed the need for continual improvement. And yes, you can continuously improve and reduce cost, you can continuously reduce cycle time, but can you continuously improve quality? Well, not if you're stuck in a category of good, then the role of that is to just to remind people that there's opportunities to go further when you begin to look at variation in white, which is the essence of looking at how what you're looking at is part of a system, which Dr. Deming was well, well aware of. 0:07:33.7 Bill Bellows: Next we got into the Paradigms of Variation and a big part there was differentiating acceptability. Well, going beyond acceptability was differentiating accuracy from precision. Precision is getting the same result shrinking the variation, otherwise known as getting achieving great piece-to-piece consistency. Metrics that begin with the letter C and sub P could be Cp, Cpk, are the two most popular. Those are measures of precision that we're getting small standard deviations that they are very, very close to each other. But in the paradigms of variation that was what I referred to as Paradigm B thinking we're looking for uniformity. Paradigm A thinking being acceptance, we'll take anything that meets requirements... Or academically called paradigm A. Paradigm C is what Dr. Taguchi was talking about with the desirability, where we're saying I want this value, I want uniformity around this specific value. 0:08:43.9 Bill Bellows: Here what we're looking at is uniformity around the target, around an ideal, otherwise known as piece-to-target variability. And, the idea there is that the closer we are to that ideal, the easier it is for others downstream to integrate what we're passing forward. Whether that's putting something into a hole or does this person we want to hire best integrate into our system. So, integration is not just a mechanical thing. In episode eight we then got into Beyond Looking Good which then shatters the Paradigm A acceptability thinking, going more deeply into the opportunities for continual improvement of quality. 0:09:29.1 Bill Bellows: If you shift to continuum thinking. Next, Worse than a thief coming from Dr. Taguchi. And that's the issue of achieving uniform. Part of what we looked at is the downside of looking at things in isolation and not looking at the greater system. Then episode 10 we look at Are you in favor of improvement of quality? 0:09:53.6 Andrew Stotz: I'm in favor. 0:09:55.7 Bill Bellows: To which he would always say, but of course. That was a reference back to chapter one of The New Economics. And he said everyone's got an answer. Improving quality computers and gadgets. And what we spoke about is Quality 4.0, which is gadgets of the 21st century, tools and techniques. And again, what we said is, there's nothing wrong with tools and techniques. Tools and techniques are about efficiency, doing things well, but they lack what Russ Ackoff would say in asking, are we doing the right things well. And then episode 11 delved into what I've...amongst the things I've learned from Dr. Taguchi, To improve quality, don't measure quality. 0:10:42.5 Bill Bellows: If we have a problem with, we want to reduce scrap, we want to reduce rework, we want to eliminate the problems that the customer has experienced or that someone downstream is experiencing. And what Dr. Taguchi emphasized was start asking, what is the function of the thing we're trying to do? And the idea is that if you improve the function, then you're likely to improve the quality as measured by what the customer is looking for. If you focus on what the... If you focus your efforts on reducing what the customer is complaining about, you're likely to get something else the customer is complaining about. And for more on that, go to episode 11. 0:11:19.0 Bill Bellows: And then episode 12, Do specification limits limit improvement? Which again goes back to what I experienced on a regular basis is in my university courses with people I interact with and consulting is a very heavy emphasis on meeting requirements and moving on. And not a lot of thought of going beyond that or even that there's anything more to do, that's alive and well. And that's reinforced by Six Sigma Quality is filled with that mindset. If you pay attention closely to Lean Manufacturing, you'll see that mindset again, alive and well. So, what I wanted to get to tonight in episode 13, Quality. 0:12:04.3 Andrew Stotz: That was quite a review, by the way. 0:12:06.7 Bill Bellows: Yeah, Quality Management: don't be limited, as and I'm teaching for the sixth time a class in quality management at Cal State Northridge. The title used to be Seminar in Quality Management. The title this year is Engineering Quality Management and Analytics. One of the assignments I give them, essays, the quizzes, attending the lectures. 0:12:34.9 Bill Bellows: Learning Capacity Matrix that I learned about from David Langford. But what I was sharing with you earlier, Andrew, is one of the first things I thought about and designed in this course, back in 2019 was I could just imagine students going through the course. And, what I'm going to hear is, what I've heard before is professor, these are very, very interesting ideas, but I'm not sure how I would apply them where I work. Because where I work is different. It's different. And to avoid that question, I came up with an assignment I called the Application Proposal. And there's four parts to it. But part one is: imagine upon completion of this course. And I let them know about this in the first lecture and I say, imagine upon completion of the course, your boss, someone you work with, challenges you to find three things you can do within three to six months of the of the completion of the course. 0:13:34.6 Bill Bellows: And it must include something you learned in this course. I don't say what thing, I don't say two things, I don't say three things. I leave it to them. But all it comes down to is I'd like you to contemplate and within three to six months of the completion of the course, what could you do? And I call that the near-term application. Well, subtask one is come up with three. They have to meet your job, your role, not your boss's role, not another department's role. They have to fit your role because only you know then the method by which you would go about that. And, so for that near-term, I ask them to let me know what is the present state of that near term, the before, the current condition and what is the after. What is the future state of that near-term? So I assign that before the course begins, I give them until week five to submit and give me those three things. The reason I asked for three is if one, if the first one they give me, if they only asked for one and one didn't quite fit, then I say, well, okay, Andrew, go back and give me another one that same time. 0:14:49.7 Bill Bellows: So I said, give me three. And most often all three are fantastic. In which case I say they're all great. Which one would you like to do? But again, it has to fit their role because in Sub-Task 2, the next thing I want them to do is not so much tell me about the present state, tell me more about the future state. And again, the future state is how much can you accomplish within that three-to-six month period? And that's subtask two. Then they come back to me and tell me the plan. What is the plan by which you go from the near-term present state to the near-term future state, tell me about the plan. Tell me what some of the obstacles might be and how you plan to deal with the obstacles. And then I say now what I want you to do is imagine that is wildly successful, jump ahead a year and a half to two years and tell me what you would do next. How would you build upon this? And in that mid-term time frame, what is the present? What is the future of the mid-term? And then go a few years out and tell me how you're going to further expand on what you've learned. 0:16:03.4 Bill Bellows: I call that the far-term. And for the far-term, what's the present, what's the future? So when they submit that to me, then I come back with - it could be questions about some of the terminology.  It could be a suggestion that they look at something with the use of Production Viewed as a System. Or, I ask them to think about operational definitions or perhaps suggest a control chart and, or a book. So, part of the reason I wanted to bring that up is few of the title, few of the topics we are looking at are specifically quality related. They're all about improving how the organization operates. Which goes back to what Dr. Deming stressed is the importance of continual improvement. 0:16:50.9 Andrew Stotz: Can you explain that just for a second? Because that was interesting about quality versus improving the organization. What did you mean by that? 0:17:00.4 Bill Bellows: Well, I, they didn't come to me with this process I have, has lots, has a very high defect rate and I thought that's where I need to focus. Or this process has a lot of scrap and rework. That's where I want to focus. What I was excited by is that they were looking at how to take a bunch of things they already do and better integrate them. Just fundamentally what I found them thinking about is how can I spend time to organize these activities as a system and as a result spend a whole lot less time on this and move on to the next thing. And, what I found fascinating about that is if we keep our thinking to quality and quality's about good parts and bad parts, good things and bad things, and having less bad things and more good things, that could be a really narrow view of what Dr. Deming was proposing. Now another aspect of the assignment was not only do I want them to give me three ideas, we down-select to one. It could be they're writing a new piece of software. One of the applications has to do with a really fascinating use of artificial intelligence. 0:18:27.0 Bill Bellows: And what's that got to do with quality? Well, what's interesting is it has a lot to do with improving the functionality of a product or a service, having it be more reliable, more consistent, easier to integrate. But, the other thing I want to point out is not only do I ask them to come up with three things and then assuming all three things fit well with their job, their responsibilities, their experience.  What I'm also interested in is what from the course are you going to use in this application? And, two things came up that fit again and again.  One is the value proposition of a feedback loop. 0:19:12.9 Bill Bellows: And they would ask me, what do you mean by feedback? I said, well, you're going to come along and you're going to tie these things together based on a theory that's going to work better. Yes. Well, how will you know it's doing that? How will you know how well this is performing? And, I said when I see this is what people refer to as Plan-Do, but there's no Study. It's just... And, I saw that Rocketdyne, then people would come along and say, oh, I know what to do, I'm just gonna go off and change the requirements and do this. 0:19:44.6 Bill Bellows: But, there was no feedback loop. In fact, it was even hard to say that I saw it implemented. It just saw the planning and the doing. But, no study, no acting. 0:19:57.3 Andrew Stotz: Is that the Do-Do style? 0:20:01.3 Bill Bellows: Yes. But what was really exciting to share with them is I said in a non-Deming company, which we have referred to as a Red Pen Company or, or a Me Organization or a Last Straw. And I don't think we covered those terms all that much in this episode, in this series, we definitely covered it in our first series. But what I found is in a Deming or in a non -Deming company, there's not a lot of feedback. And even if I deliver to you something which barely meets requirements and we spoke about this, that in the world of acceptability, a D- letter grade is acceptable. Why is it acceptable? Because it's not enough. It's good parts and bad parts. And so even if I deliver to you, Andrew, something which barely met requirements, and you said to me, Bill, this barely meets requirements. And I say, Andrew, did you say barely meets requirements? And you say, yes. So, Andrew, it did meet requirements and you say, yes. So I say, "Why are you calling me Andrew?" 0:21:12.1 Andrew Stotz: By the way that just made me think about the difference between a pass fail course structure and a gradient course structure. 0:21:20.7 Bill Bellows: Exactly. 0:21:21.5 Andrew Stotz: Yeah. Okay. 0:21:22.5 Bill Bellows: Yeah. So even if you give me that feedback. I reject it. I'm just going to say, Andrew, move on. But I said, in a Deming organization, feedback is everything. The students were giving me feedback on the quizzes and some things that caused me to go off and modify some things I'm doing. And I told them, if I don't have that feedback, I cannot improve the course. So, I met with each of them last week for an hour, and the feedback I was getting is instrumental in improving the course for the remainder of the semester as well as for next year. And, so that's what I found is what really differentiates a Deming approach to improving a process or a service or a product is feedback, which goes then to watching how it's used. It is, I think I mentioned to you Gipsie Ranney, who was the first president of The Deming Institute, a Professor of Statistics at University of Tennessee, when she met Dr. Deming and later became a senior consultant, maybe advisor to General Motors Powertrain. And once she told me, she said to Dr. Deming "You know, Dr. Deming, what do people get out of your seminars?" And. he said, "I know what I told them. 0:22:42.0 Bill Bellows: I don't know what they heard." And, the challenge is without knowing what they heard, because we would also say, and I'm pretty sure we brought this up in one of our this series or the prior series, Deming would say the questions are more important than the answers because the questions provide them with feedback as to what is going on. So anyway, part of what I wanted to bring out today in this quality management, don't be limited, is whether or not you're focusing on quality per se, minimizing scrap, minimizing work. If you're trying to improve a process, again, you're not improving it necessarily because there's more I want to have less scrap. But if your improvement is, I want it to take less time, I want it to be easier to do. I want it to be cheaper to do. Well, while you're at it, think about a feedback loop.  And the role of the feedback is to give you a sense of is it achieving what you're hoping it would achieve? It would allow you over time to maybe find out it's getting better.  Maybe there's a special cause you want to take advantage of or a special cause you want to avoid.  But, without that feedback, how do you know how it's working and then beyond that? 0:23:55.7 Andrew Stotz: And where is the origin of the information coming from for the feedback loop? Is it a feedback loop within your area or is it feedback loop from the next process or what do you. 0:24:08.3 Bill Bellows: All of that. That's what I told her. I said one is, I said, when you're developing the process. I told them, I said, when you're. If in Sub-Ttask 1, your idea is to flowchart a process, come up with a template, a prototype. Part of the feedback is showing that to people. And part of the feedback is, does it make sense to them?  Do they have suggestions for improvement? Do they... Is there an issue with operational definitions?  There would be better clarity based on the words you're using.  You may say in there clean this thing, or early in the semester, one of the assignments I gave the students was to explain some aspect of the course within their organization. And then I thought, well, then now it will explain to who. And I thought, well, unless I say if I felt that without giving clarity to who they're explaining it to, they're going to get lost in the assignment. Am I explaining it to a co-worker? Am I explaining it to someone in management? Am I explaining it to the CEO? And, finally I just thought, well, that's kind of crazy. 0:25:18.3 Bill Bellows: I just said, well, as if you're explaining it to a classmate. But, my concern was if I didn't provide clarity on who they're explaining it to, then they're going to be all over the place in terms of what I'm looking for versus what they're trying to do. And that being feedback and that also being what I told them is part of collecting, part of feedback is looking for how can I improve the operation, how can I improve? Or, what are the opportunities for paying closer attention to operational definitions, which means the words or the processes that we're asking people to follow. 0:25:58.3 Bill Bellows: But, I found in in joining Rocketdyne, I was in the TQM Office and then I began to see what engineering does. Oh, I had a sense of that when I worked in Connecticut, paid more attention to what manufacturing does. Well, then when I moved into a project management office. Well, project management is just like quality management. It's breaking things into parts, managing the parts in isolation. And, so when I talk about quality management, don't be limited. There's a lot Dr. Deming's offering that could be applied to project management, which is again, looking at how the efforts integrate, not looking at the actions taken separately. 0:26:45.4 Andrew Stotz: And, so how would you wrap up what you want to take away. What you want people to take away from this discussion? You went over a very great review of what we talked about, which was kind of the first half of this discussion. And what did you want people to get from that review? 0:27:05.2 Bill Bellows: The big thing, the big aha has been: this is so much more than quality. And, I've always felt that way, that when people look at Dr. Deming's work and talk about Dr. Deming is improving quality, and then when I work for The Deming Institute, the inquiries I would get it was part of my job to respond to people. And they want to know I work for a non-profit, do Dr. Deming's ideas apply. And, so for our target audience of people wanting to bring Dr. Deming's ideas to their respective organizations, even though the focus here is quality, we call this series Misunderstanding Quality. At this point, I'd like you to think more broadly that this is far more than how to improve quality.  This is improving management of resources, management of our time, management of our energy.  So this is a universal phenomenon. Not again, you can look at it as good parts and bad parts, and that's looking at things in isolation. That's what project managers do. That's what program managers do. That's what organizations do relentlessly. And this is what Ackoff would call the characteristic way of management. Break it into parts and manage the parts as well as possible. 0:28:21.5 Bill Bellows: So, I just wanted to bring that back as a reminder of this quality, quality, quality focuses. There's a lot more to this than improving quality when it comes to applying these ideas. 0:28:34.7 Andrew Stotz: And, I would just reiterate that from my first interactions with Dr. Deming when I was 24, and then I moved to Thailand and I did finance business and all that. So I wasn't, applying statistical tools in my business at the time. That just wasn't where I was at. But the message that I got from him about understanding variation and understanding to not be misled by variation, to see things as part of a system. Also to understand that if we really wanted to improve something, we had to go back to the beginning and think about how have we designed this? 0:29:20.3 Andrew Stotz: How do we reduce the final variability of it? And, so, it was those core principles that really turned me on. Where I could imagine, if I was an engineer or a statistician, that I would have latched on maybe more to the tools, but from where I was at, I was really excited about the message. And, I also really resonated with that message that stop blaming the worker. And, I saw that at Pepsi, that the worker just had very little control. I mean, we're told to take control, but the fact is that if we're not given the resources, we can only get to a certain level. 0:29:58.3 Andrew Stotz: Plus, also the thinking of senior management, you are shaped by their thinking. And, I always tell the story of the accumulation tables in between processes at a Pepsi production facility. And that basically allows two operators of these two different machines to, when one goes down, let's say the latest, the farthest along in the production process, let's say the bottling goes down, the bottle cleaning process behind it can keep cranking and build up that accumulation table until it's absolutely full. And, that gives time for the maintenance guys to go fix the bottling problem that you have and not stop the guy behind. And, that was a very natural thing from management perspective and from my perspective. But, when I came to Thailand, I did learn a lot more about the Japanese and the way they were doing thing at Toyota. 0:30:51.4 Andrew Stotz: I went out and looked at some factories here and I started realizing they don't do that. They have their string on the production line, that they stop the whole thing. But the point is the thing, if a worker can't go beyond that, you know what the senior management believe about it. So, that was another thing that I would say it goes way beyond just some tools and other things. So, I'll wrap it up there. And Bill, on behalf of everyone at The Deming Institute, I want to thank you again for this discussion and for listeners. Remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. And if you want to keep in touch with Bill, just find him on LinkedIn. This is your host, Andrew Stotz, and I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming and that is people are entitled to joy in work.

Zapisać można się tu: https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/tylko-w-onecie/newsletter-stan-wyjatkowy-zapisz-sie-na-nasz-nowy-newsletter/q7dq8jv   Wiemy, że wielki boks to wielkie pieniądze. Przykłady mistrzów ringu pokazują, że skuteczne obijanie facjat konkurentom to całkiem dobra recepta na życie w luksusie. Karol Nawrocki co prawda wielkiej kariery w boksie nie zrobił, ale luksus zdążył pokochać. Niestety — wszystko wskazuje na to, że najbardziej kocha luksus na nasz koszt. Twórcy słuchowiska politycznego „Stan Wyjątkowy” słyszą legendy o dworskim stylu bycia Nawrockiego w czasie, gdy z nadania PiS kierował Muzeum II Wojny Światowej oraz w ostatnich latach, odkąd — także z nadania PiS, rzecz jasna — kieruje Instytutem Pamięci Narodowej. Podróże po całym świecie i drogie hotele to wszystko oczywiście dla dobra Polski. Także dla dobra Polski Nawrocki przez ponad pół roku korzystał z apartamentu Deluxe w kompleksie Muzeum II Wojny, choć jego prywatne mieszkanie mieściło się zaledwie 5 km dalej. Twierdzi, że z tej kwatery prowadził — padamy na ring ze śmiechu — „bardzo dynamiczną politykę międzynarodową”. Mamy wrażenie graniczące z pewnością, że prześwietlanie bogatej przeszłości ringowej pana Karola dopiero się zaczyna. Nawrocki został niedawno przyłapany na Nowogrodzkiej. Pan Karol przekonywał, że znalazł się tam przypadkiem i wcale nie oznacza to, że wpadł do siedziby PiS, by z oddaniem ucałować sygnet prezesa. Bronimy pana Karola — może rzeczywiście powód był nieco inny. Jak się dowiadujemy, pisowski sztab „obywatelskiego” kandydata intensywnie pracuje nad kampanią haków wymierzonych w Rafała Trzaskowskiego. Podczas spotkania sztabu prezentację w tej sprawie przygotował obywatelski poseł PiS, ziobrysta Sebastian Kaleta, zdeklarowany psychofan Trzaskowskiego. Prezydent stolicy będzie atakowany za poparcie dla LGBT, dotacje dla lewicowych organizacji w stolicy, za swą krytykę CPK w przeszłości, za konkretne głosowania w Sejmie i Europarlamencie — takie, które da się przedstawić elektoratowi prawicowemu jako antypolskie i proniemieckie. Trzaskowski ucieka do przodu i zmienia polityczny wizerunek — z pozycji liberalno-lewicowych przesuwa się na prawo. Dystansuje się od Zielonego Ładu oraz krytykuje wywołującą protesty rolników umowę UE z krajami Ameryki Południowej na import produktów żywnościowych. Do tego wysyła do wyborców antymigracyjne sygnały — ostatnio zaproponował odebranie 800 plus Ukraińcom, którzy nie pracują w Polsce na stałe. Szkopuł w tym, że zbyt radykalna przemiana może być dla wyborców niewiarygodna. Takie obawy słyszymy z otoczenia premiera Donalda Tuska, który sam niejedną przemianę w swym politycznym życiorysie zaliczył.

What can Dr. Deming's famous Red Bead Experiment teach us about quality? What happens when you only focus on the bad, and ignore the good? In this episode Bill Bellows and Andrew Stotz discuss acceptability vs desirability in the context of the Red Beads and a few of the 14 Points for Management. 0:00:02.1 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz and I'll be your host as we continue our journey into the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Today I'm continuing my discussions with Bill Bellows who has spent 31 years helping people apply Dr. Deming's ideas to become aware of how their thinking is holding them back from their biggest opportunities. This is episode 5 of the Misunderstanding Quality series and the title is "The Red Bead Experiment." Bill take it away.   0:00:30.4 Bill: Thank you, Andrew, and welcome back. Welcome back to our listeners. One thing I want to say is, one is I listen to every podcast two or three times, listening for, is there a need for clarification, reminding myself, thinking, oh, I should have said this. Or sometimes I say, oh, make sure you make this point, and I do or I don't. And. so one is, nothing comes up from the last one that I thought I missed or mispronounced, but what I do want to clarify is, I'm viewing the target audience as quality professionals in your respective organization or people that want to become a quality professional that are learning, that are trying to apply these ideas in their organization, are fascinated with it. Could be quality professionals who are consultants looking for new awareness of the Deming perspective. So, that's...   0:01:35.8 Bill: And so, some of what I have in mind is, and the examples is, things you can try at home. In fact one thing I encourage... What I encourage my students to do, undergraduate and graduate students, even the clients I consult with, companies I consult with, is develop the ability to explain these ideas, any of them, to people outside of work. So, that could be a spouse, a brother, a sister, a mother, father, son, daughter. And, why outside of work? 'Cause I view that as a safe audience. You say, hey, I just listened to this podcast. Somebody at work may not be as safe. And why are we having this conversation? So, I would say, it could be a college classmate, but one is, try explaining these things to people outside of work and then when whoever that is looks at you and says, I have no idea what you're talking about, or this makes sense, then as you develop that confidence then you're refining your explanations. And that puts you in a better position to apply, to explain it at work.   0:02:54.9 Bill: And why is that important? I'd say there's a lot you can do on your own. I mentioned that a month or so ago, my wife and I were in New England, and I met my doctoral dissertation advisor, who's 86 years old and lives in the middle of nowhere. And one of the things is the wisdom he gave us way back when it was so profound. One of the things he said, we were poor starving college students making seven bucks an hour, working 20 hours during the semester as Research Assistants or 40 hours during the summer. And what a life. Living in... This is poor starving college students. And he would say to us... We'd get together now and then, there'd be a keg on campus and we'd be... Which it wasn't all that often, but anyway, he'd say to us, "These are the best years of your life." [laughter] And we'd look at him like... Now again, I mean, we were... I wouldn't say we were poor starving college students, but I mean, we made ends meet. Now our classmates had gone, undergraduate, gone off to work and they were making real money, and we just stayed in the slum housing and doing... Just living cheap.   0:04:20.3 Bill: Then he says, "These are the best years of your life." We're looking at him like what are you saying? And what he said was, you're working on your research projects either undergrad, masters or PhDs. He said, "You will never have the time you have now to focus on one thing and not be distracted." Now a few of the classmates were married. Most were not married, but he just said this is... I mean, what a dream situation. You're in the laboratory every day. That's all of your focus. Your tuition is covered, blah, blah, blah. But it was just like, yeah, okay. So, when our daughter was in graduate school I shared that with her and she laughed at me. I said, "Allison, these are the best years of your life."   0:05:14.4 AS: If only we listened.   0:05:15.5 Bill: Right. So, that's... And well, I wanted to bring up... But the other thing I want to bring up aside from that story is, he'd say to us, when you go to work, he said trust me. He said "there will be more than enough time to get your job done. You'll have a lot of... You will have time to..." And he said, 'cause he used to brag about he'd be given a task and he can get it done in a fraction of the time that was allocated. And why I mention that is that every job has latitude. And so, to our listeners I would say, think about how to use the latitude you have to practice, to do a small scale Plan-Do-Study-Act thing. Now I really think that's what it's going to come down to is, either experiment at home or whatever, but just practice. And then as Andrew always reminds us at the end of each podcast, you can reach out to me on LinkedIn. And that's led to a number of people I'm meeting with once or twice a month.   0:06:31.8 Bill: And they are exactly who I hope to meet, is young quality professionals wanting to know more, to know more, to know more, and they're either in the States or they're living in Europe. All right. So, before we get into the Red Bead Experiment I wanna go back and talk more about acceptability, desirability which will be a focus of the Red Bead Experiment as well. But in the first series we did, there were 23 episodes before we got into the Misunderstanding Quality, and somewhere in there we discussed, you may recall the paradigms of variation. And the paradigms are labeled letters A, B, C, D and E. And we will look at them in this series. So, for those who don't know what I just said, don't worry we'll cover you. And for those who heard it before, okay, we're going to review it. And I mentioned that because paradigm A, the only one I want to talk about tonight, is paradigm A, is does it meet requirements? That's what acceptability is. Is it good? 'Cause we have this binary world in quality. Part of paradigm A is a binary world. It is good or it's bad. We talked about last time is, if it's bad can we salvage it? Which means we can rework it.   0:07:52.3 Bill: Now some of the rework means it could be we can rework it and use it. And in the aerospace industry what happens is, maybe we can't put it in a flight engine. When I was at Rocketdyne maybe it doesn't end up in a Space Shuttle Main Engine, but maybe it ends up in a test engine and a test stand, so it doesn't fly, but we're still going to use it, or it's scrapped. We have to throw it away. But paradigm A is acceptability. Another thing I want to mention is, I was commenting on LinkedIn the last couple of days over process capability metrics. And there's Cp which stands for capability of the process. And, then there's Cpk which is a little bit different. And I don't want to get into those equations tonight, maybe in a future episode. But what I want to say is, if you're looking at a metric such as yield, people say the yield is 100%. What does that mean? It means everything is good. What if the yield is 50%? That means we have to... 50% is good, 50% is bad.   0:09:06.2 Bill: So, yield is an acceptability metric. Why do I say that? Because the measure is percent good. What is a good versus bad? Also say that indices that involve the requirements. And we've talked in the past about a lower requirement and an upper requirement, the idea because we expect variation we give a min and a max. And so, if the equation for the metric you're using includes the tolerance limits, then that's a clue that that's an acceptability-based metric. Now, I don't care whatever else is in the equation, but if those two numbers are in the equation, then the inference is, what you're talking about is a measure, some type of measure of acceptability.   0:10:00.5 AS: Right.   0:10:02.6 Bill: But even if people talk about... If the metric includes the middle of the requirements, well, as soon as you say middle of the requirements, as soon as you say requirements we're back to acceptability. So, these are things to pay attention to is what we're talking about acceptability and desirability, 'cause what we talked about last time was I was trying to give everyday examples of both. And so, acceptability is when people talk about... In fact I listened to about an hour long podcast today on quality management. And one of the comments was, if you follow the steps correctly you get the right result. Well, that's acceptability. Right? If things are right as opposed to wrong. So, again, when you're in this world of good, bad, right versus wrong, that's acceptability.   0:10:58.7 Bill: Again, the reminder is this is not to say acceptability is bad, but it's not desirability. Which one is it? And then what we talked about in the last podcast number four was choose. Do we wanna to focus on acceptability or do we wanna focus on desirability? Where desirability is saying, of all the things that are acceptable, I want this one. I want that orange. I want that parking spot. I wanna date that person of all the ones that meet requirements in my search... You know, in the dating app. And so, that's acceptability. What got me excited by Deming's work in the early '90s was, I was spending a whole lot of time at Rocketdyne focusing on things that were broken. I'm trying to apply Dr. Taguchi's ideas to go, to take something that used to be good but then slipped into bad, and now we're focusing on the bad stuff to make it good. And now the good news is it kept me busy.   0:12:06.5 Bill: I was having a lot of fun. These are high visibility things and the solutions. We got the solutions working with some really wonderful people. But that led me to start asking questions. And I was once at an all-day meeting in Seattle at Boeing. Rocketdyne had been sold to Boeing Commercial Airplane Company. I got invited to a meeting up there. And it was a monthly all-day production meeting. I don't know 50, 60 people in the room. And they asked me to come up. So, I went up. And what time does the meeting start? You know 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock, whatever. And I said you know put me on a few hours into the meeting. Well, why then? Well, I want to listen to the first couple of hours of the meeting. Because in listening, now we're going back to what we talked about with Edgar Schein. And I've developed the ability... You know, I can hear are we focusing on acceptability, desirability, I can hear things you know with a Deming lens. People think of a lens as seeing, well, there's a Deming ear set as well.   0:13:10.7 Bill: And so, I listened for the first two hours and exactly what I expected. So, when I get up to speak at last I said before I got to the slides, I said, "How much time do you spend every day discussing parts that are good, that arrive on time?" And a couple of people in the front row made a circle with their fingers, zero. And I said, so why is that the case? And one of them says, if it's not broken don't fix it. And wherever I go that's what people say. I went to a big Boeing customer doing... Because they were a customer we sold them rocket engines of some size. And I was briefing that slide, had 110 people in the room for a lunchtime presentation. Before I could read the slide, the room erupted in laughter. And so, I share that because if we're spending all this time focusing on the bad but not the good, what is that? That's acceptability. That's what happens, is the economics of acceptability says, only focus on the bad to make it good. But we don't focus on the good because... And that's what we're gonna look at towards the end of tonight is, why don't we focus on the good? And so, next, I had a co-worker at Rocketdyne got a job in Chicago at a toy factory. They bottled soap bubbles. And as a kid's toy with a little wand inside and blowing bubbles and all that.   0:14:56.0 Bill: And she dramatically turned the place around, did some amazing, amazing work. She went from being the senior manufacturing engineer to the, I think plant manager. So, she called me up as she'd been promoted to plant manager. And the question was now that I'm plant manager what should I focus on? So, I said... I had known her for four or five years at that time. I had been mentoring her and the mentoring continued in that capacity. So, I said well, what do you think you should focus on? And the comment was, I think I should focus on all the things that are broken. Well, that's acceptability once again. And I said, so you're focusing on being 100% reactive. And she said, well, yeah. And I said, what you're doing then by focusing on acceptability, you're saying the things that are good I ship, the things that are bad I got to work on. But without understanding that there's actually variation in good... I mean, go back to the Boeing folks when the guy says to me if it's not broken don't fix it. My response to that was, if you use that thinking to drive your car when would you put gas in it? When it runs out. If you use that thinking relative to your plumbing system, your water system at home when would you call the plumber? When it breaks.   0:16:25.5 Bill: When would you go see the doctor? When... So, the downside of not working on things that are good and not paying attention to things that are good is that they may bite you. So, part of the value proposition of acknowledging from a desirability perspective that there's variation in good. If you pay attention to the variation in good there's two upsides. One is, you can prevent bad from happening if that's all you want to do. And two, the focus of a future episode is by focusing on things that are good and paying attention to desirability in the way that Yoshida, Professor Yoshida was talking about. That offers opportunities to do things that you can't do with an acceptability focus, which is improve how things work together as a system. And the idea being when you move from acceptability which is a part focus to desirability, which is a system focus, you can improve the system. Okay, more to follow on that. All right. So, I got some questions for you Andrew, are you ready?   0:17:37.4 AS: Uh-oh. Uh-oh.   0:17:39.8 Bill: So, Dr. Deming had how many points for management?   0:17:42.9 AS: Fourteen.   0:17:46.3 Bill: All right. Okay.   0:17:48.3 AS: I'm being set up here. I just feel it. You start with the easy ones.   0:17:52.8 Bill: All right. And...   0:17:54.3 AS: Listeners, viewers help me out.   0:17:56.9 Bill: All right. And which point, Andrew, was cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality? What number was that?   0:18:09.6 AS: I'm gonna say four or five, or six. I can't remember.   0:18:14.2 Bill: Three. Three.   0:18:14.6 AS: Really? Three. Okay. That was close.   0:18:16.1 Bill: I would not have known. That was number three.   0:18:19.1 AS: Yeah.   0:18:20.1 Bill: And it's followed by Dr. Deming saying, "Eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis by building quality to the product." So, the first question is what point was it? And again, I had to look it up. I know it's one of the 14. Second question, Andrew, is, if Dr. Deming is saying cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality, would you think of that as an acceptability focus or a desirability focus?   0:18:55.1 AS: I don't know if I can answer that. I mean, I can only think about what he was saying, which was design quality in from the beginning and get everybody involved in quality, not just having an inspector at the end, but I'm not sure.   0:19:11.4 Bill: Yeah. No. And even as I asked the other question, I'm thinking... Well, this is great because if in the audience you think of quality from an acceptability perspective, right?   0:19:24.2 AS: Mm-hmm.   0:19:24.9 Bill: So, if you're working for Boeing, which is all about acceptability or most companies, and you hear step three, then you're thinking, cease dependence on the inspection to achieve..., you're thinking acceptability. If that's what you're used to, if you're used to quality being doesn't meet requirements...   0:19:42.9 AS: Okay.   0:19:43.2 Bill: Then what you're hearing is Deming talking about acceptability. But if you've been exposed to Yoshida's work and Dr. Taguchi's work and you're understanding that within requirements there's variation of things that are good, so it's kind of a trick question. The idea is it depends. Alright.   0:20:02.4 AS: Yep.   0:20:05.5 Bill: I got two other of 14 points to ask you about. Alright. Which of the 14 points is in the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag alone? Instead, minimize total cost. So,  first which point is that?   0:20:26.9 AS: I think it was also... I would say then four.   0:20:32.1 Bill: Yes.   [laughter]   0:20:33.6 AS: Yeah.   0:20:34.1 Bill: Yeah.   [laughter]   0:20:34.5 AS: You'd think I know. I wrote a book about it.   [laughter]   0:20:39.3 Bill: Alright. So, that's point four and...   0:20:42.1 AS: Okay. So, I got... I don't wanna be rated and ranked, but I got one right at least. Okay. Let's keep going.   0:20:49.1 Bill: Okay. And, so, is that acceptability or desirability? Let's say this. Is awarding business on price tag acceptability or desirability?   0:21:02.1 AS: Probably acceptability.   0:21:04.6 Bill: Yeah. 'Cause then you're saying...   0:21:06.5 AS: Can you hit this number? It's okay.   0:21:11.2 Bill: Yeah. Or you contact your insurance company and you say, I'm looking for a heart surgeon, and you say, and I found one, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they call you up and say, yes, that person is a heart surgeon, but we prefer you use this one. [chuckle] What's the chance they're thinking about a cheaper option? Right? Alright? So, you're looking at from desirability perspective...   0:21:38.5 AS: This guy's really cheap on kidneys.   0:21:40.7 Bill: Right? And so you're thinking you've done a bunch of references. You've asked your friends. And why are you asking? Because all the doctors out there that meet requirements, you're blindly saying, I'll take any one. That's acceptability. And you're saying, I want this one. That's desirability. But the insurance company says, no. We consider them all to be the same in our policy. That's acceptability. Alright. Okay. And here's the last point we're gonna look at tonight. Which of the 14 points is "improve constantly and forever the system of production and service to improve quality and productivity and thus constantly decrease cost"?   0:22:23.5 AS: Isn't that number one? Constancy of... That's...   0:22:28.0 Bill: That's constancy of purpose. That's number one.   0:22:28.8 AS: Okay. Constancy of purpose. So, improve... Don't know. No. No.   0:22:39.4 Bill: That's number 5.   0:22:40.5 AS: Okay. Five.   0:22:44.5 Bill: And I was looking at, so I know those are three and one, and I thought, oh, that's three, four, and five. Alright. So, what I wanna do there is, we're gonna look at that a little bit later. So, I don't wanna ask you about acceptability, desirability, but I just wanna lay that on on the table. Alright. So, now we're gonna look at what Dr. Deming referred to as his chain reaction. The Deming Chain Reaction. Alright. So, what do you remember about the Deming chain reaction? It wasn't a motorcycle chain or a bicycle chain, right? What did Dr. Deming call his chain reaction?   0:23:31.3 AS: I can't... I mean, I'm thinking of the flowchart.   0:23:34.9 Bill: Yeah. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. The chain reaction...   0:23:36.5 AS: But that I can't remember.   0:23:39.6 Bill: And this is likely Out of the Crisis. The Deming chain reaction is, "if you improve quality, you will reduce scrap and rework, thereby reduce costs." And then he goes on to, by reducing costs, you can increase sales and expand the market. That's the chain reaction.   0:24:01.9 AS: Yeah.   0:24:02.2 Bill: So, when I ask students, again, in my either graduate, undergraduate classes is, talk about the Deming Chain Reaction, then I say, is the Deming Chain Reaction... Within the Deming Chain Reaction, Deming says, if you improve quality, reduce scrap and rework, lower cost, is that explanation of quality, acceptability, or desirability?   0:24:31.9 AS: I don't know. I'm fearful to answer nowadays because I'm not getting these right.   0:24:37.4 Bill: No. You are. You're on a roll. [chuckle] Again, the Deming Chain Reaction, if we improve quality, we reduce scrap and rework, thereby lower the cost thereby sell more and expand the market.   0:24:52.2 AS: I would say that's desirability.   0:24:56.1 Bill: Okay. One more time. If we improve quality, we reduce scrap and rework.   0:25:03.2 AS: Yep.   0:25:04.3 Bill: So, the clue is scrap. Is scrap something we talk about with acceptability or desirability?   0:25:12.1 AS: That's acceptability.   0:25:14.1 Bill: And rework.   0:25:18.2 AS: Well, we're trying to make it acceptable.   0:25:20.1 Bill: Exactly. And the reason I point that out is, I'm not sure... And I think we talked last time about things we agree with Deming or disagree with Deming. I'm not a big fan of the Deming Chain Reaction because I think... Again, if I'm in the audience and I'm working for a company that defines quality and in terms of acceptability, and he says to me, if you improve quality, reduce scrap and rework, that's what I'm used to. And my concern is, in other ways he's explaining quality in terms of constantly improving. Well, how can you constantly improve quality once you get to 100% yield? So. if all the product is good, which is acceptability, if there's no scrap and no rework, can you improve quality? Not if you're focusing on acceptability. And so, what I'm saying there is, that if Dr. Deming is in one hand defining the chain reaction and using the term quality in reference to scrap and rework, then he's projecting quality as acceptability. But if he's talking about improving constantly and forever, and then we get into, can you improve the quality forever? That's what he's saying.   0:26:49.1 Bill: What if you get to 100% yield, which is the maximum value of acceptability? Well, only if you shift to desirability can you improve forever quality, if you think it's worthwhile to do. So, that's why I wanted to go back and look at those things. One is revisit acceptability, desirability, and point out what I think are some opportunities for confusion in trying to explain Deming's work. Alright. Now we'll talk about the Red Bead experiment, which is, the very first time... I remember reading about it in the earliest books I read. I think, who is it that wrote the first books on Deming management, Deming management? She's a...   0:27:42.8 AS: Killian?   0:27:44.3 Bill: No, no, no. Cecilia Killian was Deming's admin.   0:27:48.9 AS: Mary?   0:27:50.5 Bill: Yeah. Mary Walton.   0:27:51.6 AS: Mary Walton.   0:27:52.5 Bill: Mary Walton. I remember reading a Mary Walton's book, that's when I first got exposed to this Red Bead experiment. So, The Deming Institute has a dedicated webpage, so, if you go to deming.org, or just do a Google search for deming.org Red Bead experiment, it's one of the most popular pages. I think that might be the second most popular, most visited page past the 14 Points. In there you can find short videos. There are longer videos, but there's enough on there to follow along with what I want to explain. So, Dr. Deming and the Red Bead experiment would take from the audience, and it could be four willing workers, six willing workers. He'd be the manager of the White Bead Company, and he would explain to them, he would share with them. He had a bowl, and in the bowl were 5,000 beads, maybe an eighth of an inch in diameter, small plastic beads, and there'd be 5,000 in the bowl, 4,000 white, 1,000 red.   0:29:00.6 Bill: And then there was a paddle, and the paddle could be roughly two inches by four inches, and the paddle had a little handle, and it had holes in it. So, the instructions he would provide to the willing workers, the production workers, is to take this paddle at a given angle, slide it in flat into the bowl, even the back of the beads. The beads are in one container, they get poured into another container.   0:29:27.7 AS: In a pan.   0:29:28.1 Bill: It's a mixing process, and then he pours them back in. So, just pour them from one to the other, and he would be very persnickety on pour at 45 degrees, tip from the corner. You pour back and forth, put the paddle in, and you'd end up with 50 of the beads would fill the paddle, and then you'd go to the inspector number one. And the inspector number one would count how many red beads, which is not what the customer wants. What the customer wants is white beads, but the raw material includes both. So, you go to inspector one, and they may count five beads. You go to inspector number two, and they quietly see five. The numbers get written down. Ideally, they're the same. And then you go to the, I think, the master inspector, and they say, five beads, and then "dismissed." And then write the five on a flip chart, and then the next person comes and does it, and the next person comes and does it. So, all six come up and draw beads, and then we count the number of red ones. The number of red ones go into this big table. Next thing you know we've done this over four different days. I've done this. This could take an hour. And even when you watch the videos, there's a fast forwarding.   0:31:00.1 Bill: I've done the Red Bead experiment, I think, just once, and I did it with a former student, which worked out really well, 'cause there was a lot of dead time, and the audience was watching, and so I was able to get conversation going with her. So, for those wanting to do this, boy, you've got to be pretty good on your feet to keep the audience entertained. To get to the point where you've got a table on the whiteboard, or on the flip chart, and on the table are the six willing workers on the left-hand side, and then day by day the red beads... Looking at the number of red beads. So, what are the red beads? Well, the red beads are not what the customer wants. What the customer wants are white beads, but in the production process, because the raw material includes red, well, then the red ends up in the output. So, I ask people, so, if the white beads are what the customer wants, what are the red beads? And typically, people say those are the defective, defects, scrap.   0:32:03.2 Bill: And, so now you get into this model is based on acceptability. The beads are either good, white, or bad, red. And so I would ask the students in class, in a work setting, what might the red beads be? I, in fact, asked our daughter. She said, is just moving from being a junior high school English teacher to a senior high school English teacher. Her undergraduate degree is from Cal State Long Beach.   0:32:34.3 AS: There you go.   0:32:34.3 Bill: So, her first day of school was today. She's also the varsity swim coach, which is way, way cool. Mom and dad are proud of her. So, I remember asking her a few years ago. So, I said, Allison, what are the red beads in the classroom? She said, well, the stapler doesn't work. The door doesn't close. The projector screen doesn't come down. The computer doesn't work. These are red beads in the classroom. So, I said, okay, Allison. What are the white beads?   0:33:01.1 Bill: Geez. So, we get so used to talking about the red beads are the defects or things that... Well, the white beads, by comparison, are the things that are good. So, I said, Allison, if the computer works, that's a white bead. If the door closes, that's a white bead. If you can close the window, that's a white bead. If you can pull down the screen, that's a white bead. So, the red beads are the things around us that are defects, broken, and the white beads are the others. And so, I wanna throw that out to do some stage setting. And ideally, this is a review for our listeners, and if not, you've gotta go watch as many videos as you can in The Deming Institute website. There's a lot of great content there. Watching Dr. Deming do this is pretty cool.   0:33:49.0 AS: He's a funny guy.   0:33:51.6 Bill: And I was very fortunate to be in Dr. Deming's very last four-day seminar. I did not participate in The Red Bead Experiment. I let somebody else do that, but it was classic. Well, the next thing I wanna get into is, and I would say to audiences many times, so we know... Well, a couple things. It's so easy to look at that data on a spreadsheet and say, Jill's the best performer. She has the minimum number of red beads. So, on the one hand, we can look day by day, and it could be Jill's number started off low. And we gave her an award, and then it went high, and then we started blaming her. So, there's variation in the number of beads, worker to worker and day to day. So, a given worker, their scores go up and down. So, that's called variation.   0:34:43.4 Bill: And so one of the aspects of the System of Profound Knowledge, which we haven't talked about too much, but ideally our listeners know Dr. Deming was really big about the value proposition of understanding variation. So, what Dr. Deming would talk about in his four-day seminars, and ideally anybody presenting this, is you take the data, you draw the usual conclusions. We're looking at data from an acceptability perspective. We look at the spreadsheet, and then voila, we turn it into a run chart and look at that data over time, calculate control limits, and then find that all the data is within the control limits and draw the conclusion that the process is in control. And then you move from in a non-Deming environment, looking at this data point versus this data point and drawing these conclusions that the white... The number of red beads is due to the workers.   0:35:33.7 Bill: So, the punch lines you'll find at Deming Institute webpage is that the workers are trying as best they can, that the red beads are caused not by the workers taken separately, but by the system, which includes the workers. A lot of great learning there. And a very significant piece is, in a Deming environment, where Deming's coming from is, again, this is before we go further in this in future sessions is, he's proposing that the majority of what goes on in the system relative to the performance of anything you measure is coming from the system. And if that is really, really understood, then you're hard pressed to blame people in sales for lousy sales or dips in sales or you look at grades of students in a classroom. So, for people looking at Dr. Deming's ideas, perhaps for the first time, realize that what he's talking about is coming from The Red Bead Experiment is a great eye opener for this is that, let's stop blaming the workers for the production issues and step back and look at our procurement system.   0:36:39.6 Bill: Do we have a procurement system where we're buying on price tag? If you buy on price tag, you end up with buying a lot of red beads. So, one aspect I wanna leave our listeners with today is, as you're studying this, realize there's a psychology aspect to The Red Bead Experiment. Not only the idea that there's variation up and down, but what are the implications of realizing that we can't be blaming the workers for the behavior of the system. The system includes the workers, but it also includes things that are well beyond their control. Well, where I wanna go next with this and then we'll next time get in and go further is, in appreciation of point five, "improve constantly forever the system," what I would ask audience is, so we know the red beads are caused by the system. We know the number of white beads goes up and down. But if we were to improve the system by not buying red beads or pre-sorting them out and get fewer and fewer red beads in there, then we get to the point that all the beads are white, perhaps. We have continuous improvement.   0:37:47.2 Bill: We end up with a 100% yield. Well, then we get into, again, and I've kind of set the stage in prior comments, what I would ask people is, what Dr. Deming's talking about trying to achieve zero red beads everywhere in the organization? Is that what we're striving for with the Deming philosophy, is to go around the organization, I want every single process to produce no red beads to make it to a 100% white beads? And if that's what Dr. Deming is talking about, then what does point five mean about continuously improving? Now we get into what I mentioned earlier is, you can improve the speed of operation to produce more white beads, so, we can do them faster, we can do them cheaper, but can we improve the quality of the white beads under that model? And the answer is no, because acceptability stops at a 100%. So, what we'll look at next time is, if you look at the beads and look closely, you'll see they have different diameters, different weights. They're not exactly the same color white. So, what is that Andrew? That's called variation.   0:39:00.9 Bill: And now it brings us back to desirability. So, what I encourage people to do, most of the times I see people presenting The Red Bead Experiment, they present it from an acceptability perspective. That's the starting point. But what I encourage our listeners to do is go through all that, and this becomes a great opportunity to move your audiences from acceptability focus to desirability by talking about the inherent variation in those beads. Again, we'll talk about the value proposition economically in future sessions, as well as the other paradigms of variation before we get there. So, that's what I wanna cover.   0:39:43.2 AS: Wow. Bill, on behalf of everyone at The Deming Institute, I wanna thank you again for this discussion. And for listeners, remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. If you wanna keep in touch with Bill, just find him on LinkedIn, and this is your host, Andrew Stotz, and I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming. It never gets old. "People are entitled to joy in work."
