MESSAGE FROM THE WEB LIAISON

Happy New Year!
"New Year SLC Goals"
|
 |
Many of you
have received a Performance Review and have provided your management with
a list of Goals for the upcoming year. ASQ San Diego is your Personal
Professional Resource for providing you with the skills and knowledge that
YOU need to accomplish these goals. We do this by providing Workshops,
Guest Speakers and Recertification classes. By We, I mean YOUR
SECTION
LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE ( SLC).
In a few years the diversity of the San Diego business community has grown
from a base of companies that support the Defense, Hospitality and
Education industries to include the Bio Med, Sports Equipment, Convention
Business and others. ASQ San Diego needs to cater to the needs of all of
our members no matter what type of business they are employed. To do this
our SLC must represent the growing diversity in the employment market.
This where our members are directly involved in their destiny by choosing
SLC team members to provide them with opportunities for career growth and
skills enhancement. ASQ San Diego will be organizing Elections for
Officers of the Section, who will act in the interests of its membership.
Check our Web page frequently for information about the ELECTION of New
Officers who will represent YOU on July 1 2006.
The SLC will submit a Slate of Candidates for YOU to consider and will
also ask our Membership to submit Candidates of their choosing. This can
be accomplished by a minimum of 10 members of the San Diego Section
submitting their own slate to me. Most likely these members will either
work for the same company or a group of companies in the same industry. If
your company is a Sustaining member of our section, they may encourage
their employees to submit a list of Candidates. I wish to assure our
members that YOUR SLC wishes to hear from YOU to ensure that we continue
to represent all of YOU.

This Month's Meeting
Our
December meeting went well (see details here).
Our January meeting will be as follows:
Abstract
Lean Manufacturing is not new. It is based on the Toyota Production
System, which has been around for over 50 years. The world “discovered” Lean
in the 1990’s book “Lean Thinking”. Since then thousands of companies
have implemented Lean and become significantly more competitive and more
profitable.
Many other companies thought they implemented Lean and were disappointed in
the results. The improvements were not large, or they did not last very
long. These companies have typically discounted Lean as “just another fad”.
This presentation will look at the
differences between those companies that got the results they hoped for, and
those that were not as successful. The presentation will cover what it takes
to transform to a lean organization where the results will last, and how to
tell the difference between “Real” and “Pretend” Lean Manufacturing.
Speaker Biography
Our presenter, Roger Olson has been a consultant and trainer and a partner
with Systems Quality Consulting for the past ten years. He has 20
years experience in process management and productivity improvement.
His consulting work focuses on Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma.
Roger has a graduate degree from USC in Systems Management
and a BS degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. He is an ASQ Certified Six
Sigma Black Belt, Certified Quality Manager and Certified Quality
Engineer.
Roger
teaches Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma at Cal State Fullerton. He is
also a CEO coach and mentor.
