It also demonstrates the remarkable awareness of at least some young US engineers in the post-war period about the vital role of Statistical Quality Control in establishing and maintaining a competitive position. The book reveals that there was unsuspected knowledge extant immediately post-war, about the importance of Statistical Quality Control when appropriately applied in an industrial setting. It also helps to correct wide-spread historical misconceptions about who specifically was responsible for helping Japanese industry get back on its feet post-war, a task assigned to General Douglas Macarthur by President Truman and how Macarthur was indebted to Sarasohn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Detailed Account of the Historical Document on Statistical Quality Control and How It Changed Japan's Fortunes Post-World War II\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Road to Quality Control: The Industrial Application of Statistical Quality Control by Homer M.

Homer M. Sarasohn was the first person to teach the Japanese how to manage a company in post-war Japan. In addition, the book includes essays by N. I. Fisher and W. H. Woodall that discuss the historical significance of the American involvement in the evolution of SQC in Japan in the years following World War II. The original 1952 edition, published in Japanese, is largely unknown, even inside Japan. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book clearly demonstrates the amazing contribution, even by today's standards, of Sarasohn's contemporary thinking about the role of Statistical Quality Control in the broader context of Quality Management.
