Engineer: Founder of the Juran Institue, credited along with Walter Andrew Shewhart and W. Edwards Deming with being the father of modern day Quality Control, Jruan set the scientific invented the practices that are the basis of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
Dr. Juran was born in 1904 in Brãila, Romania, In 1912, he and his family moved Minneapolis, Minnesota. Joseph was an exceptional student, excelling at mathematics. He was a chess champion at an early age, and dominated chess at Western Electric.
Juran graduated from Minneapolis South High School in 1920.
In 1924 Juran earned a bachelors degree in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota (he also had a degree in law and was admitted to the Illinois Bar, though he never actively practiced law) and joined Western Electric's Hawthorne Works. His first job was troubleshooting in the compliance issues that had plagued the company for years.
In 1925, Bell Labs proposed that Hawthorne Works personnel be trained in statistical sampling and control chart techniques. Juran was chosen to join the Inspection Statistical Department. This small group of engineers charged with applying and disseminating Bell Labs' statistical quality control innovations. The widely publicized and highly visible position propelled Dr Juran in the company and set the course of his career for the future.
He married Sadie Sadie Dadi Shapiro in 1926 and together they had four children: Robert, Sylvia, Charles and Donald. Their marriage endured over 81 years when he died in 2008 at the age of 103.
For many years he worked with a number of US companies up to his declining years; improving or implementing quality processes and training employees in the theory of quality. Companies such as Gilette, Hamilton Watch Company and Borg-Warner.
After the sudden death of the president of Borg-Warner, Juran began his own independent practice, from which he made a comfortable living until his retirement in the late 1990s.
Perhaps his biggest contribution on the world stage was in Japan after the WWII. The beleaguered Asian Nation was eager to begin an active consumer export industry to rebuild it's devastated economy. While Japanese manufactures could compete on a global level with other countries where price was conceded, their products were often see and sloppy and inferior in quality to nearly all other countries products. The Japanese called upon Dr. Juran and W. Edwards Deming to re-invent the nation's process of quality that still governs their production market to this day on a national level. He is single handedly credited by the Japanese people for saving their national economy. Credited with being the father of modern day Quality Control, Jruan set the scientific invented the practices that are the basis of the ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
Dr. Juran also founded the Juran Institute.
The development of the Six Sigma process draws heavily on the theories and practices implemented by Joseph Juran.
Dr. Juran is responsible for 10 books on the subject of Quality in production and the theory of Quality Practices In Business that span a half a century of experience and expertise. All over the world the name Juran is synonymous with Quality processes, procedures and practices in all facets of industry.
