English term or phrase: It worked
W. Edwards Deming introduced some graphical tools of statistical analysis to the relatively uneducated workers of industrial organizations. It worked such wonders in Japanese companies that he is acknowledged throughout the world as the father of the quality revolution.
=====================
Não consiga saber a que se refere o IT dessa frase. Como esse texto foi escrito com um inglês sofrível, absurdo, peço a sua ajuda. Traduzi a frase assim:
==============
It worked such wonders in Japanese companies that he is acknowledged = Essas maravilhas funcionavam em empresas japonesas, onde ele é reconhecido mundialmente
================
Agradeço a sua luz.

it worked
isso foi tão bem sucedido que


Explanation:
"It" se refere ao fato de que o sr. Demins introduziu as ferramentas de análise estatística. Se fosse referente às ferramentas em si, aí seria "They worked such wonders...". Penso até que a intenção foi user "they" mas que, por erro de interpretação, acabaram colocando "it".

"Estas maravilhas funcionavam" seriam "These wonders worked..." e não "They worked such wonders..." Para usar esta idéia, poderia falar "These wonders worked so well in Japanese companies..."
