Hello everyone, welcome to our April Newsle er
It is my pleasure to introduce you our new Social Media Chair, Jeffrey

our sec on and members use social media channels to enhance communica on.
May 31, 2015 is the deadline for our Sec on 701 to submit PAR 2015
Innova on Award Intent To Apply to ASQ Headquarters. Therefore, at
our March Leadership Mee ng we brainstormed the ways to create more
member value through PAR 2015 Innova on Award and we came up with
the following project:
Title: Project YQP - Engaging the Next Genera on of Quality Professionals


Quarterly program sessions that are an informal discussion style with experienced quality professionals offering sugges ons to the YQP
Establishment of a mentor network that pairs YQP with experienced professionals in
their industry
High-func oning social media channels that increase member engagement from all demographics
Use of technology to streamline registra on process to allow more me at mee ngs for
networking and to demonstrate how process improvement can work.
We are very enthusias c about realizing this project and we are always welcoming your feedback and being part of our team. If you would like to join us, please contact our Vice Chair
Dieter Eckstein. This year World Conference on Quality and Improvement will be held in
Nashville, Tennessee on May 4 - 6, 2015. Registra on deadline is April 29, 2015 and the
theme of this year's conference is " Transforming the World Through Innova on, Inspira on,
and Leadership". If you would like to a end, here is the website to get more informa on and
register: h p://asq.org/wcqi.
As always, we have our Monthly Dinner Mee ng on every second Tuesday of each

The Improvement Compass
Finding direcƟon!
Supplier Audits, The Good,
the Bad and the Ugly
By Dieter Eckstein, ASQ CMQ/OE, CQA, BSBM
Are you part of an organiza on that sends out annual
surveys or ques onnaires to your suppliers for the only
purpose of mee ng a corporate or standard requirement?
O en, the value added from this prac ce comes to mind.
What does an organiza on gain other than the tedious
paperwork? Very seldom, an organiza on will drive improvements by this prac ce. The me and effort spent vs.
the value added p the balance heavily towards this being
a “Bad” prac ce.
The surveys o en do not amount to very much other than
a record that simply helps prove that some effort was
made to evaluate suppliers. However, the suppliers o en
don’t become be er suppliers because they completed
the survey and returned it. In some cases, organiza ons
don’t even receive all of the surveys back because some
suppliers simply decide not to waste their me. Some
supplier rela onships then become “Ugly.”
But how do we turn these efforts into “Good” prac ces?
Most Quality Standards look at establishing a win-win
rela onship with suppliers. Suppliers are qualified to
make sure they are competent and proficient in the processes outsourced to them.
Supplier audits should be established to iden fy gaps between the supplier and industry best prac ces. The gaps
iden fied o en uncover the opportuni es that add value
to our supplier’s opera ons and eventually help them find
more efficient and effec ve ways of performing their
work.
Helping our suppliers minimize the growing pains involved
in finding value of key business prac ces such as calibraon of tools, process planning and controls, document
and record controls, are priceless value added “Good”
prac ces.

Unfortunately, supplier audits take more than a boilerplate survey sent on a “minimum” annual basis with generic ques ons. All organiza ons that find this as the

define the controls necessary to minimize such risks. Once suppliers
are iden fied by their risk level, audits can be planned with the purpose of iden fying any gaps between the controls iden fied to minimize risks the supplier’s business prac ces. Any gaps found will be a
stream of value added ac vi es that will have mutual benefit by driving con nuous improvement.
Companies should priori ze the audi ng needs and

Supplier audits are key to developing great suppliers that are compe ve in pricing and overall product and service quality. Avoid the
“Bad” and the “Ugly” and aim to find the “Good” in your supplier relaonships.

An Introduc on
Presented by: Jack B. ReVelle, Ph.D.
QFD is a comprehensive quality system that systema cally links the needs of the customer with
various business func ons and organiza onal processes, such as marke ng, design, quality, produc on, manufacturing, sales, etc., aligning the en re company toward achieving a common
goal. It does so by seeking both spoken and unspoken needs, iden fying posi ve quality and
business opportuni es, and transla ng these into ac ons and designs by using transparent
analy c and priori za on methods, empowering organiza ons to exceed normal expecta ons
and provide a level of unan cipated excitement that generates value.
By a ending this seminar, you will:

Realize how the QFD methodology can be applied to a broad variety of service, educa
on,
health care, government, military and manufacturing projects

Understand how QFD provides a system of transla
ng customer requirements into necessary and appropriate organiza onal
responses at each stage from research and product development to engineering and manufacturing to marke ng/sales and
distribu on

See how QFD uses a structured format to encourage engineering discipline in conver
ng customer requirements into final
products and services

Find out how QFD helps provide improved product and processes in less
me and a lower costs

Spring Cer fica on Opportuni es
By Mark Lindsey, Educa on Chair
We are into Spring and another round of ASQ Cer fica on Refresher/Prepara on Courses is underway. By June 6, 2015 exam we
should have another bumper crop with approximately 100 of our
members currently enrolled in the CQE, CSSGB, and CQA courses.
Surveys indicate many of the students are new Members to ASQ so it
is great that they are pursuing a Cer fica on. We have the 4th
largest Sec on in the na on and 48% of our Sec on members have
earned an ASQ Cer fica on. We hope that by 2016, we will be the
3rd largest Sec on with 51+% of our members having an ac ve Cer fica on.
We encourage you to reach out to others to become members and
earn a Cer fica on. That is what has sustained our Sec on for decades. We have no ced that Regulatory Agencies have been sending
their staff to our courses. They have also been encouraging companies to hire and develop qualified (competent) professionals in quality and safety.
Your Leadership Council is now reaching out to Universi es that
offer classes in Quality (i.e. CSUDH, Cal Poly Pomona, CSUF) to encourage their Students to a end our Dinner Mee ngs, become Student Members, and also earn the ASQ CQIA Cer fica on before they
graduate. The CQIA does not require prior work experience. When
you see Students at our Programs, reach out to them so the feel welcome and serve as a good role model/mentor as they are our future.
I joined the ASQ Student Chapter at CSULB back in the early in 1980s
and later joined the Orange Empire Sec on. 30+ years goes by fast.
I appreciate all of the mentoring I have received in 3 decades from
members like you. Lets keep developing the talent of the present
and the future. Is part of all of our Legacy.

Presented by: Manual Marco
Management systems have for decades been an important tool for
organiza ons in order to achieve their business objec ves; whether
to address quality, occupa onal health, safety, environmental, social
or other requirements.
But the world is changing, and management systems need to reflect
this new reality. With the new ISO Annex SL and the 2015 revisions,
we see a shi towards integra on of management systems, helping
organiza ons to take a broader view and address their most important risks and opportuni es in order to operate more sustainably. But is this move sufficient? What needs to be done in order for
management systems to be relevant in 2025?
This clinic involves heavy interac on between the speaker and the
a endees to provide valuable informa on pertaining to "how management systems should look like in 2025 and beyond.”
This interac ve clinic will introduce some of the trends impac ng
management systems and will invite you to provide your views and
visions on the future of management systems.
