Also announced:
The Deming Prize for Individuals: Dr. Yoshinori Iizuka, Professor, Graduate School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo (Japan)

Prior to that trend, nearly all awardees were based in Japan. Sanden International is the third USA based organization to win: Florida Power & Light Company (1989), AT&T Power Systems (1993).

Companies are eligible for the Japan Quality Medal only after they have received a Deming Prize. An official award ceremony will take place November, 7th.
