MESSAGE FROM THE WEB LIAISON

"Quality Sells"
|
 |
We have recently heard that General Motors and Ford
have announced plans to close several assembly plants in the US.
Both companies have given the same reason for doing this – lower sales.
Toyota on the other hand continues to hire American
workers for its assembly plants.
The slogan “Made in the USA” has
had a positive impact on Ford and GM sales. It is now having a
positive impact on Toyota sales.
The lesson here is that :
-
All other things being equal, a reputation for
building quality into products and services has a positive effect on
sales.
-
Negative effects , like positive effects take time to
effect sales.
The irony is that GM, Ford and Chrysler are
producing much better quality than they used to be. Ford has adopted
a Six Sigma Quality program but they now need to share the market with
foreign competitors who assemble and service their products in the US.
However, we all remember the Ford Ranger / Firestone tire issue a few
years back. One tends to believe that risk assessment during the
design phase should have been more complete.
Risk assessment is the topic of this month's meeting
and our speaker is none other than Keith Boyle who is a very talented
speaker. This should be a fantastic talk to round out the year on a
great footing. See more information below or sign up now on our
meetings page.

This Month's Meeting
Our
October meeting went well (see details here).
Our November meeting will be as follows:
Abstract
Whether you are developing a new process, implementing ISO-9001 or
managing a Lean Six-Sigma roll-out in your organization, unmanaged risk
can make or break the success of your critical project execution. Learn
how to design a plan to identify potential failures and manage risk
intelligently.
Keith Boyle will provide an examination of how to establish risk-level and
allocate risk-impact, and realize both predictive and preventive
methodologies during new product designs, process developments and project
implementations. The following techniques will be discussed in risk
assessment and risk reduction techniques:
-
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
-
Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)
-
Hazards and Critical Control Point Analysis (HACCP).
