To demonstrate its effectiveness, the hypothesis that an effective way to introduce quality engineering into an enterprise is 'actions speak louder than words'was tested through use in the Sekisui Chemical Group. The 'actions speak louder than words' system uses quality engineering to get results in production problem-solving situations, calculates the monetary effect of the results to appeal to managers and engineers alike, thereby increases the level of interest in or recognition of quality engineering, and takes advantage of the increased level of interest or recognition to move directly into an organized and systemic deployment of quality engineering. In this study, it was verified that 'actions speak louder than words' is an effective method of introducing quality engineering into enterprises that are using it for the first time.
