Abstract

K. Ishikawa stated in his book "Japanese Quality Control" that 6 items including Quality First signified "a revolution in management philosophy". By correlating those 6 items with the conditions which he pointed out existed in their background, this paper addresses the matter as a problem in business administration. Its result indicates that there have come up the following 4 moot points with great importance and profound significance in modern days. First, the purpose of an enterprise lies not in profit-making but in good-furnishing due to innovation. Second, against the evils of virtical management common to the U. S. and Japan, though different in their history, and enterprise is required to start with the research of cross-functional management and proceed to that of the so-called horizontal management-centered structur parallel to production processes. Third, with Taylorism denied, an enterprise should make it an official duty for its QC circles to undertake Fine Engineering. Fourth, such a U. S.-type marcket priority system as seen in lay-off or procurement is not a desirable one. Enterprise behavior aiming at accumulation and continuity shold be taken.
