Introduction to Quality Management System Kaizen
Keys to the Kaizen concept is that it is an on-going, never-ending
improvement process. As the reader may already know, it is not too difficult part is, how to keep it going and maintain
the momentum once it has been introduced. Many companies have tried to introduce such projects as quality circles, reengineering,
and lean production. While some of them have been successful, most have failed to make such a project a going concern.For
instance, many Western companies introduced quality circles by involving employees but most companies have simply given up
the idea of quality circles by involving employees but most companies have simply given up the idea of quality circle
activities by now. This happened because management failed to build internal infrastructures, systems and procedures that
would assure the continuing of quality circle activities. This has happened because most Western companies lacked the concept
of KAIZEN.

The Silver Buffalo Award, created in 1926, is bestowed upon those adults
who give truly noteworthy and extraordinary service to youth. This award, Boy Scouts of America's highest commendation, recognizes the invaluable contributions that outstanding
American men and women render to youth. The service must be national in character and can be directly connected with the BSA
or independent of the movement.
The award consists of a small silver buffalo designed by A. Phimister Proctor,
and suspended from a red and white ribbon worn around the neck. A square knot, one strand red the other white, may be worn
on the BSA field uniform.
The Silver Buffalo Award
Since 1926, the Boy Scouts of America has awarded the Silver Buffalo Award for distinguished service to youth. Each year,
this award for noteworthy service of a national or worldwide character is made to men and women associated with Scouting and
to others not directly associated with Scouting.

Congressional Gold Medal Award
- The Congressional Gold Medal should not be confused with the Medal of Honor (commonly called the Congressional Medal of Honor), which is also awarded by Congress, but only to military members as the
highest military decoration of the United States.
The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest award which may be bestowed by the Legislative Branch of the United States government. The decoration is awarded to any individual who performs an outstanding deed or act of service to the security, prosperity,
and national interest of the United States of America. The recipient need not be an American citizen.
The Congressional Gold Medal is considered the United States Congress equivalent to the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Both decorations are generally considered to hold the same degree of prestige (though significantly fewer Gold Medals have
been awarded), with the difference being that the Freedom Medal is personally awarded by the President of the United States and the Congressional Gold Medal is awarded in the name of the U.S. Congress.
Per committee rules, legislation bestowing the Congressional Gold Medal to a recipient must be co-sponsored by two thirds
of the membership of both the House of Representatives and the Senate before their respective committees will consider it.
The Congressional Gold Medal is created by the United States Mint to specifically commemorate the person and achievement for which the medal is awarded. Each medal is therefore different
in appearance and there is no standard design for the Congressional Gold Medal. The Congressional Gold Medal is also considered
"non-portable", meaning that the medal is not meant to be worn on a uniform or other clothing, but rather displayed much like
a trophy.
The Congressional Gold Medal is a completely separate decoration from the Medal of Honor which is a military award for extreme bravery in action. Another similarly named decoration is the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, presented by NASA for extreme accomplishment to the mission of United States space exploration.

National Medal of Arts
The National Medal of Arts is an award and title bestowed on selected honorees by the National Endowment for the Arts. Ceremoniously given by the President of the United States, it is the highest honor given to an individual artist by the national government on behalf of the people. The award is not restricted to a particular art.
The National Medal of Arts was established by Congress in 1984, upon the recommendation of President Ronald Reagan and the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities for the purpose of honoring artists and patrons of the arts.
The Congress authorized the President to award no more than 12 medals each year.
Traditionally twelve medals are awarded each year, but in 1997 only eleven were awarded, as poet Adrienne Rich refused the medal because of "the cynical politics of the Clinton administration."

Légion d'honneur Award
Chiang Kai-shek's Légion d'honneur. This is the reverse of his Grand Cross.
The Légion d'honneur (officially Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur)[1] is a French order established by Napoléon Bonaparte, First Consul of the First Republic, on May 19, 1802. It is the premier order of France, and its award is therefore considered a great distinction, and the possible French equivalent
of the British Victoria Cross and George Cross rolled into one. The order’s motto is Honneur et Patrie ("Honour and Fatherland"), and its seat is the Palais de la Légion d'Honneur on the Left Bank of the River Seine in Paris.
History
The Republic
Napoleon, as emperor, always wore the cross and Grand Eagle of the Légion d'Honneur.
In the French Revolution all the Orders of the kingdom were abolished. Napoleon, the First Consul, felt the need for a
reward to commend both civilians and soldiers and instituted a Légion d'Honneur, a body of men (women were first allowed
in the legion in 1852 by President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, the later Napoleon III) that was not an order of chivalry. The Légion did and does however show all the characteristics of an Order of Chivalry. Napoleon, in 1802 still a revolutionary,
loathed orders of knighthood.
The Légion was loosely patterned after a Roman Legion, with légionnaires (soldiers) officers, commandants and a grand council;
and the Emperor angrily rebuked anyone who called this institution an order. The highest rank was not a grand cross but a
grand aigle, a rank that wore all the insignia common to grand crosses. The members were paid, the highest of them
extremely generously:
- 5,000 francs to a grand officier,
- 2,000 francs to a commandant,
- 1,000 francs to an officier,
- And 250 francs to a légionnaire.
According to some sources Napoleon declared: On appelle ça des hochets, je sais, on l'a
dit déjà. Et bien, j'ai répondu que c'est avec des hochets que l'on mène les hommes. — "We call these children's
toys, I know, it's been said already. Well, I replied that it's with such toys that one leads men." (The French word hochet means a child's rattle). This has been often quoted as "It is with
such baubles that men are led."
The order was the first modern order of merit. The orders of the monarchy were often limited to Catholics and all knights had to be noblemen. The military decorations
were the perk of the officers. The légion, however, was open to men of all ranks and professions. Only merit or bravery counted.
It is noteworthy that all previous orders were crosses or shared a clear Christian background, whereas the Légion is a
secular institution. The jewel of the legion has five arms.
The Empire
Napoléon Bonaparte, First Consul of the French Republic, awarded some of the first Légions d'honneur' on August 16, 1804 at the camp of Boulogne.
In a decree issued on the 10th Pluviose XIII (January 30, 1805) a grand decoration was instituted. This decoration, a cross on a large sash and a silver star with an eagle became known
as the Grand Aigle, and later in 1814 as the grand cordon (French for "Large sash").
Napoleon had dispensed 15 golden collars of the legion among his kinsmen and the highest of his ministers. This collar
was abolished in 1815.
Although research is made difficult by the loss of the archives, it is known that three women who fought with the army
were decorated with the order: Anne Biget (a nun), Virginie Ghesquière, and Marie-Jeanne Schelling.
The Légion d'honneur was prominent and visible in the empire. The Emperor always wore it and the fashion of the time allowed
for decorations to be worn most of the time. The king of Sweden therefore refused the order; it was too common in his eyes.
Napoleon's own decorations were captured by the Prussians and were displayed in the Zeughaus (arms repository) in Berlin till
1945. Today, they are in Moscow.
The Restoration of the Bourbon Kings in 1814
King Louis XVIII changed the appearance of the order, but it was not abolished. This would have angered the 35-38,000 members. The images
of Napoleon and his eagle were removed and replaced by the image of Henri IV, the popular first king of the Bourbon line. Three Bourbon Lillies (fleur-de-lys) replaced the eagle on the reverse of the order. A king's crown replaced the imperial crown. In 1816 the grand eagles
were renamed grand crosses and the legionnaires became knights. The king decreed that the commandants were now commanders.
The legion was the second order of knighthood of the French monarchy, after the Order of the Holy Spirit.
The July-monarchy
Louis Philippe, King of the French, wearing the sash of the order.
France's first constitutional monarch, King Louis-Philippe of the House of Orleans restored the order of the Légion d'honneur in 1830 as the paramount decoration of the French Nation.
The insignia were drastically altered. The cross now displayed tricolor flags. Louis Philippe abolished the other orders of
the monarchy. In 1847 there were 47,000 members.
The Second Republic
Yet another revolt in Paris (1848) brought a new republic and a new design to the Légion d'honneur.
A nephew of the founder, Prince Napoléon was elected president and he restored the image of his uncle on the crosses of
the order. In 1852 the first woman, an old revolutionary of the 1789 uprising against the absolute monarchy, was admitted
into the order. A true Bonaparte, President Napoleon staged a coup d'état and made himself emperor of the French in 1852.
The Second Empire
An Imperial crown was added. During Napoleon III's reign the first American was admitted — Dr. Thomas Wiltberger Evans, dentist of Napoleon III. Angélique Duchemin
was the first documented female knight.
The Third Republic
In 1870 a smashing defeat of the army in the Franco-Prussian war brought another republic. As France changed, the Légion d'honneur changed as well. The crown was replaced by a laurel and
oak wreath. In 1871, during the Paris Commune, the Hôtel de Salm, headquarter of the Légion, was burned to the ground in street fighting; the archives of the order were lost.
During the First World War some 55,000 decorations were conferred, 20,000 of them to foreigners.
Current organization and officers
The President of France is the Grand Master of the Order and appoints all other members of the Order — by convention, on the advice of the
Government. Its principal officers are the Chancellor and Secretary-General.
Current officers of the Order include:
Frenchmen are always received in the order to the class of knight. To be promoted to a higher class, one must prove new
services to France and a set number of years must pass between appointment and promotion. The only exception is the President
of the Republic, who is made a grand cross de jure upon his accession to the presidency. Foreigners are not received in the order; instead they are decorated with the insignia
of the légion. A foreigner can be decorated directly with the insignia of a higher class. Foreign Heads of State and the wives
or consorts of monarchs are made grand cross as a courtesy.
The order is conferred upon men and women, either French citizens or foreigners, for outstanding achievements (mérites
éminents) in military or civil life. In practice, in current usage, the order is conferred, in addition to military recipients,
to many entrepreneurs, high-level civil servants, sport champions as well as other people with high connections in the executive. The members of the french Parliament cannot receive the order, except for valor in war, and ministers are not allowed to nominate their accountants.
The Order has a maximum quota of 75 Grand Cross, 250 Grand Officers, 1,250 Commanders, 10,000 Officers and 113,425 (ordinary)
Knights. As of 2000 the actual membership was 61 Grand Cross, 321 Grand Officers, 3,626 Commanders, 22,401 Officers and 87,371
Knights.
It is a popular joke that half of France wants the order and the other half already owns it, but in reality most people
have to content themselves with the less prestigious "National Order of Merit" awarded for "distinguished services".
Appointments of veterans of World War II, French military personnel involved in the North African Campaign and other foreign French military operations, as well as
wounded soldiers, are made independently of the quota.
In 1998, all surviving veterans of World War I from any allied country who had fought on French soil were made Knights of the Légion if they were not so already, as part
of the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the war's end. In December 2004, on the occasion of his 110th birthday, France's oldest surviving veteran of the war, Franklin Flocquet, was promoted to Officer.
Members convicted of a severe crime (plain crime in French) are dismissed de jure from the order. Members
convicted of a lesser felony (délit in French) can be dismissed too.
Wearing the decoration of the Légion d'honneur without having the right to do so is an offense. Wearing the ribbon or rosette
of a foreign order of knighthood is prohibited if that ribbon is mainly red, like the ribbon of the Légion.
Collective appointments can also be made to cities, institutions, companies or military units. In the case of a military
unit, its flag is decorated with the insignia of a knight, which is a different award than the fourragère. Cities proudly display the decoration in their crest of arms.
21 schools were awarded the Légion d'honneur. They share this distinction with the Red Cross, the abbey of Our Lady of
Dombes and the state-railway company SNCF.
Classes and insignia
The five classes wearing their respective insignia (gentlemen).
The order has five classes:
- Grand-Croix (Grand Cross): Formerly grande décoration, grand aigle or grand cordon, wears
the badge on a sash on the right shoulder, plus the star on the left chest.
- Grand Officier (Grand Officer): Wears the badge on a ribbon with rosette on the left chest, plus the star on the right chest.
- Commandeur (Commander): Formerly commandant, wears the badge on a necklet.
- Officier (Officer): Wears the badge on a ribbon with rosette on the left chest.
- Chevalier (Knight): Formerly légionnaire, wears the badge on a ribbon on the left chest.
The badge of the Légion is a five-armed 'Maltese Asterisk' (for want of a better description — see Maltese Cross) in gilt (in silver for chevalier) enameled white, with an enameled laurel and oak wreath between the arms. The obverse central disc is in gilt, featuring the head of Marianne, surrounded by the legend République Française on a blue enamel ring. The reverse central disc is also in gilt, with a set of crossed tricolore, surrounded by the Légion's motto Honneur et Patrie (Honour and Fatherland) and its foundation date on a blue enamel
ring. The badge is suspended by an enameled laurel and oak wreath.
The star (or "plaque") is worn by Grand Cross (in gilt on the left chest) and Grand Officer (in silver on the right chest) respectively; it is similar to the badge, but without
enamel, and with the wreath replaced by a cluster of rays in between each arm. The central disc features the head of Marianne, surrounded by the legend République Française and the motto Honneur et patrie.
The ribbon for the badge is plain red.
The badge or star is not worn usually, except at the time of the decoration ceremony or on a dress uniform. Instead, one normally wears the ribbon or rosette on one's suit.

The Order and other countries
In the United States, General Eisenhower is among the 10,000 Americans who have received the decoration. In 1949 the Academies
of West Point and Annapolis were also decorated. Although it is rare for an ambassador in Paris to be awarded
the Légion d'honneur, a posthumous exception was made for the United States ambassador Pamela Harriman in 1997.
Additionally, in the United Kingdom Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Lord Mountbatten and Winston Churchill have all been decorated with the Grand Cross.
Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, received the Grand Cross in September 2006.
Amitabh Bachchan, the Bollywood star of India, received the award in January 2007. [1]
Clint Eastwood, the Hollywood director and actor, received the award in February 2007. [2]
Locations associated with the Order
A grand total of 68 cities and villages, amongst them Liège in 1914, Belgrade in 1920, Luxembourg in 1957 and Stalingrad in 1984 were decorated. So were 51 regiments and the Military school of Autun.
The Order has its own boarding schools in Saint-Denis and Les Loges in the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. A thousand children and grand-children of the members of the order are educated
there.
