Quality Management Principles as Illustrated by the Organization of Romanian Inter-War Factories. A Century of Romanian Industrial Tradition in Aeronautics

摘要

Inter-war Romania developed 6 aircraft factories, the first starting its activity in 1916. Four of these, with three located in Bucharest, produced over 2000 aircraft, maily for the military use as Romania entered the Second World War. The activity of these factories was undertaken in times when nobody thought about formulating the principles of quality management and the research of the first scientists in quality, Deming, Shewhart and Juran had not yet been accepted or published. The work aims to present the inter-war Romanian aeronautical industry developments regarding the quality management.
