  1. To Infinity (and Zero) and Beyond Presented by Dr. Bill Bellows Associate Fellow Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne Canoga Park, CA 818-586-6579 william.bellows@pwr.utc.com President In2:InThinking Network Canoga Park, CA 818-489-3009 bill@in2in.org October 23, 2009 ASQ Orange Empire’s Quality Day, Santa Ana, CA

  2. Abstract:The aim of this session is to present a proposal for “better thinking about thinking” as it applies to quality. Thinking about thinking, or inthinking, is about a transformation of the ways people think. The organization of thinking itself and the awareness that there is a choice of alternative ways of thinking when creating better solutions, presents a significant and exciting departure from traditional approaches. This session will offer insights on how Dr. Genichi Taguchi’s ideas on “robust design” have been integrated with Dr. W. Edwards Deming’s “new economics” to establish both “InThinking” and “Enterprise Thinking”. In doing so, the presentation will offer an introduction to ongoing activities within Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne to convert the unrealized potential embedded in the principles of Taguchi and Deming into practical ways that reduce losses to both society and Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne.
