Ishikawa also expanded on Demings four steps into sextette steps which are determine goals and targets, determine methods of reaching goals, engage in education and training, implement work, check the effects of implementation, and take appropriate achievement ( Kaoru Ishikawa One Step, 2011). Ishikawa also wrote and was the editor of many books.He wrote Guide to Quality control in 1968, as well as What Is Total Quality Control in 1981. He was the editor of QC circle Koryo in 1970, and How to survive QC Circle activates in 1971. Ishikawa has been credited with Japans quality achievements and has sure many awards su ch as the Deming prize, and the blue ribbon medal which was prone to him by the Japanese government. His work has changed how people perceive quality management and many of his methods and books are still used to this day by large and small businesses.Bibliographyhttp//www.skymark.com/resources/leaders/ishikawa.asphttp//www.vectorstudy.com/management_theories/quality_circles.htm
