Quick Read.......2007-06-12
Good book, gives you the Deming method in a quick read. You can read each section in a few minutes and finish the book quickly. Gives practical advice for helping a culture change.
Even Better Than Before.......2007-04-06
Years ago, I wrote an initial review of this book. Some of Deming's concepts are still certainly profound and abstract enough to require some type of meat to hang on the hooks before understanding and applying them, but I've expanded my understanding and application (in numerous industries) over the years, in part, because I continue to go back to this short but detailed exposition of Dr. Deming's philosophy and theory of modern leadership for renewal. Hard though it may be, what has become more apparent to me is how worthwhile the effort is and how valuable this book is in starting the transformation. Sadly, it has also become equally apparent that few companies use the theory--current efforts in lean notwithstanding--and few managers think this way even though it is even more obvious today that, as Deming originally said over 30 years ago, American business is in a crisis situation. The problem then and now is that most don't realize it. When will we learn? Still a must-read for business leaders, management consultants, and teams dedicated to continuous improvement in every industry. It is not too late to start. It is never too late. Get a copy of this book and begin today.
Profound Knowledge.......2000-02-28
Deming's concepts are profound, and seemed abstract enough to require some type of meat to hang on the hooks before I could understand and apply them (especially to improving safety performance). Thanks to this concise, informative, and easy to read book, I know longer feel like I'm re-arranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic or nailing poached eggs to trees. I am now empowered to persue the Deming philosophy with renewed confidence and accuracy. A must-read for business leaders, management consultants, and teams dedicated to continuous improvement. I will be providing a copy to each member of our corporate safety team.

From the supplier: A good resume influences the prospective employer, and hence, it must be constructed with great care and must include one's abilities, weaknesses, interests and hobbies. A detailed analysis and elucidation of one's work experience and achievements must be made. Finally, the resume must include particulars such as career-aim, employment information, academic qualifications, recommendations, and personal details such as religion, physical health and marital status. It should be checked for grammatical errors and superfluous details.

Product Description
Pension plan terminations can bring the most complex and obscure problems associated with benefits law into your practice. Have the reliable, complete answers and analysis to unlock these difficult issues- -with this single reference to the key procedural, tax, and liability aspects of qualified plan terminations and related issues.
Pension Plan Terminations, Second Edition, is the only treatise with full coverage of the potentially conflicting authorities facing a pension plan sponsor considering plan termination:
ERISA Titles I and IV
PBGC regulations reflecting the recent overhaul
the Internal Revenue Code
judicial precedents addressing the nuances of this complex legal area
The authors--both experts with firsthand knowledge of the PBGC and its regulations--give you helpful background and point-by-point analysis of these authorities so you have:
the only comprehensive treatment of qualified plan terminations--including defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans
extensive discussion of cessation of benefit accrual (including ERISA §204(h) notices), plan mergers, employer access to surplus pension plan assets without plan terminations, fiduciary issues, and partial terminations discussion of legislative history and unpublished authorities not available elsewhere
analysis of the courts' divergent rulings on reversions, partial terminations, and other topics helpful appendix tools including selected text from ERISA and PBGC regulations (both on diskette); PBGC filing instructions; sample PBGC pages and forms; IRS forms; and other documents
Customer Reviews:
Experts Sourcebook.......1999-11-30
The authors share their considerable knowledge of all aspects of pension plan terminations covered by ERISA Title IV. Laced with insider tidbits, learned firsthand while the PBGC was beginning to mature, I refer to it often when digging for a detail. It's organization and thorough soup-to-nuts approach will also help novices climb the learning curve. It's a great resource that I keep handy on my bookshelf.

From the supplier: Companies who replace pension plan funds with qualified replacement plans can slash the excise tax rate on the money taken from the original fund from 50 to 20%. To be seen as a 'qualified replacement plan' in the eyes of the IRS a plan must involve at least 95% of active participants and at least 25% of each employees entitlements from the terminated plan. The IRS does not look at the active level of participation, but the potential level of participation offered by the replacement plan.

From the supplier: The US Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled in Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) v. East Dayton Tool & Die Co. that the company that owned East Dayton for two and one half years before defaulting on the purchase note was liable for underfunding of the defined benefit plan. The company, Roscommon Financial, argued that it was not part of the relevant control group because termination of the plan occurred before it took possession. The Court disagreed and upheld the $300,000 claim of the PBGC because Roscommon was part of the control group for two and one half years and had benefitted from tax deductions.

From the supplier: The US 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Borda v. Hardy, Lewis, Pollard & Page, P.C. agreed with profit-sharing plan trustees that a former employee was not entitled to full vesting of his 40% vested account upon employer dissolution and plan termination. The former employee argued unsuccessfully that IRC section 411(d)(3) was authority for full vesting in his case. The trustees decision was not arbitrary and capricious.

From the supplier: A five-year status report to Congress by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp (PBGC) reveals that while the program is fundamentally healthy, some changes are needed to make sure that retirees receive benefits in cases of corporate pension fund default. PBGC Chmn Robert B. Reich wants Congress to raise the payout limit that retirees can receive from $5,850 to $12,870 per year, although he says that such an increase would not require that employers pay more into the fund because of its financial health. The multiemployer pension plan insurance program was established by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 and it covers approximately 9 million workers.
