Harry Romig is a name which will remain etched into the halls of quality control stalwarts. His outstanding work in advancing research in the field of quality control is still being studied by engineering graduates. Romig himself loved teaching and was instrumental in laying the groundwork upon which the modern principles of quality control stand. It can be safely said that he was, in the true sense, one of the architects of modern quality control.
Harry Romig was one of the founding members of the prestigious institution American Society for Quality also known as ASQ. Romig began his career around 1921 with a teaching job at a high school in Oregon. While teaching mathematics and science there, Romig was also considering getting a master's degree in physics. The very next year, he resigned from his teaching job at the school and joined the University of California, Berkeley to pursue a master's in physics. Before his stint at the Bell Labs which changed the course of history forever, he also taught physics and math at San Jose state college.
Romig began working at the Bell Labs in 1926, where he immersed himself in the quality control department. It was here that he created the famous sampling tables with Harold F. Dodge, another stalwart of quality control. Romig is associated with a new sampling technique he created where variables are used instead of data derived from attributes. He is also credited with the development of the concept surrounding outgoing quality limit.
While creating the building blocks of quality control, Romig was also improving his education by earning degrees in various fields of industrial engineering. He enjoyed improving his understanding while applying the learnings into his own designs.
Harry Romig is credited with the development of sampling tables called the Dodge-Romig tables. His other famous work included the usage of variables instead of data derived from attributes.
The Dodge-Romig sampling method: Quality becomes highly important when the products are related to issues like defense. The US army follows certain standards. One of them is the MIL-STD-105 which was co-developed by Romig, Dodge, and Shewhart. The latest revision was termed MIL-STD-105E which was canceled only in 1995 due to further advancements in the field.
