Marhevko’s award certificate cites her creative,
three-dimensional approach to making often complex quality
principles easy to learn: “For in-depth development and execution
of the Hoshin Kanri process … through the use of an interactive
‘Rubik’s-like’ cube to share and demonstrate hands-on use and
enable in-depth understanding and process execution.”
“Full of passion and energy about quality, Dorian Shainin had a
unique ability to break things down and make them easy to
understand and apply in the real world,” Marhevko said. “I’ve
attempted to apply those lessons by creating tools to help others
implement the Hoshin Kanri planning model at a tactical level. By
making the process easier to learn and apply, I hope to continue
Dorian’s legacy. I’m deeply honored to be chosen by my peers to
receive this award.”
Nominator Richard D. Shainin, Executive Vice President, Shainin
- The Red X Company, reflected on Marhevko’s award: “While he was a
developer of people and ideas – and a true leader when it came to
quality and reliability – mostly I remember my father Dorian as a
teacher. I believe Jd shares his passion for honing and refining
techniques to make them elegantly simple. She reflects his gift for
teaching others to enhance their ability to achieve great
things.”
In May, Marhevko will be recognized prior to ASQ’s 2016 World
Conference on Quality and Improvement in Milwaukee, Wis. She is one
of 10 recipients of the Shainin Medal since its inception in 2004
with the initial winner, Carl A. Bennett. Marhevko is the third
woman to receive the Medal (Patricia Cyr, 2014, and Jane Hoying,
2008, were the others).
