I don’t deny he was an important figure in statistical process control and its popularization. I’m just saying he’s a bad example of a business school professor having a big impact. He was a statistician/engineer/physicist during WW2 who was very important to Japanese manufacturing. He had barely any business school experience when he did his most impactful work, and that was on teaching SPC, an American invention not made by business school professors, to the Japanese.
