We’re making a new documentary series. Season 1 is all about metrology (the science of measurement): QualityDigest.com/Roadshow. You’ll love it.
I’m thrilled to announce something we’ve been working on for a year and a half—a project that took us 30,000 miles across America and into the heart of industries that most people never see. On Nov. 12, 2025, Quality Digest will premiere the first episode of The Quality Digest Roadshow, a 12-episode documentary series that reveals the hidden science shaping everything in your daily life: metrology.
Watch Episode 1 and see everything we’ll be releasing for Season 1: QualityDigest.com/Roadshow

Where Data Meets Quality Philosophy: A Deming Practitioner's Vie
Dear Jeff Dewar, CEO, Quality Digest,
As a specialist in statistical process control (SPC) and follower of W. Edwards Deming's management philosophy, I highly appreciate this project!
Metrology is the foundation for all measurable aspects of quality. It's the precise measurement data that fuels Shewhart control charts and enables meaningful analysis of process variation.
As a practitioner working with Deming's methods, I'm confident your project will serve as an excellent starting point for discussing how objective data, understanding variation, systems thinking, theory of knowledge, and psychology collectively lead to genuine quality.
Best regards,
Sergey P. Grigoryev
Scientific Director, Advanced Quality Tools Center (AQT)
