To all you new folks - Let me put in my "Hello! Welcome! :bigwave:" in advance. We're always eager and proud to have new folks join our community.

1. Name - Bob Beedle
2. Job Title or explanation of what you do - Quality Assurance Manager

Rest in my nest visit

Just Taking Moment to Introduce Myself
My Name is Randall Breeding
I am currently a Quality Manager working for a auto parts supplier launching what is a rarity in these times, A New Manufacturing Facility in the Detroit Area.
Obviously that means I am working in the Automotive field.
I have been in the quality arena since 1985 and have worked in the appliance industry, I have been in the tier ones since 1987 when I joined a Japanese supplier in Monroe Michigan.
I have a lot of plant experience as well as Leadership experience up to a Director Level in a fortune 150 company.
My pet peeve in quality is watching a new wave of OEM leadership relearn some many of the lessons that were so painfully learned by those folks they "bought out" to make way for the young and improve efficiency. :lmao:
Peace and Good Tidings to all


Randall Breeding

I am E. Leo Streich; I am currently the contracts (government) and transportation administrator for a heavy haul trucking company out in southern California. I received my Six Sigma Black Belt in 2006 from a Caterpillar dealer although I have not had more than a couple years of solid experience. Although I have always sought to improve whatever I work on my first real experience with process improvement came when I went to work for a company that was subcontracted to repair the same tractors that I operated while on active duty for the USMC. As anyone that has worked with the government knows there was excessive documentation and at the time it was all hand processed and very labor intensive. Not anymore.

My new company seems to be traveling down the same path of government subcontracting and quality management is a concern for DoD and my Google search for ISO 9001 Quality Manuals landed me here. While I do not have enough time in grade in the world of quality to want to change anything I do have a pet peeve with management types that take the "not in my backyard" approach to management analysis. Companies that do not embrace change management will eventually have a change in management (I heard that somewhere). I look forward to discussions with many of you although it will in large part be one sided as I will be doing the asking and you all the discussing. Thanks.

Leo

thank you for your welcome. I work as the Quality Management Officer for a Community Service organisation :rolleyes:. My job is to set up a quality program for this organisation and keep it complying with a set of standards for the program they are funded by the government to run.
Our funding relys on meeting these standards.

Writing policies and procedures and doing audits is what i find difficult.

Especially audits. starting from scratch.

If anyone has an internal audit they have run I would to get a look at their form or template, just to get an idea how to design one for my standards.

Personal info. I am mature aged, married 32 years, have two children and 2 year old twin grandchildren.

Cheers:thanks:

Hi all,

I'm Bart Mersseman, Biomedical and clinical engineer, hospital physicist (radiotherapy), and working as the product manager medical devices for Notified Body CE1639 and CE0120 (Medical Devices).

A big Texas howdy:bigwave: welcome to all our new friends. Welcome!

If anyone has an internal audit they have run I would to get a look at their form or template, just to get an idea how to design one for my standards. There are a lot of Audit templates / examples (http://Elsmar.com/Forums/search.php?do=process&titleonly=1&query=audit+template) here. There are more if you do a couple of Searches (http://elsmar.com/Forums/search.php) and check the Attachments Listing (http://elsmar.com/Forums/fileslist.php).

Asking in this thread your request will probably get lost because it's an Introductions thread.

Hi,

My name is Alastair, and as could maybe be guessed I come from Scotland.
25 years in Quality, after 10 in production, mostly in Aerospace and Defence but some marine and automotive and the last 2 years in oil & gas.
Have came across this forum before, but found it really helpful today so decided to join, to hopefully pass on some experiece.
After 16 years with BAe Systems have spent the last 10 years as a freelance contractor / consultant, working where the jobs are.
Things that peeve me (thats an an old Scottish expression) are useless politicians who have never worked at an honest job, in their lives. Lawyers total liers or hopefull politicians, bankers - crooks (current UK lending rate 0.5% bank loans 9 - 10%, credit cards 15 - 30% +.
OK better stop now.

Alastair

Hi,
My name is Lori.
I've worked in aerospace quality since '91 with the last ten years being in the field of aerospace machining. Started out with D1-9000, then ISO and on to AS9100. I've recently been hired by a small, but very well run, machine shop (3-5 axis machines, CMM). They are currently registered to ISO9001:2008. I've been hired to get them compliant and then registered to AS9100 Rev C. I did not hire on as a consultant. I'm a full time employee with good inspection, CMM programming and Quality Systems experience. I've had questions about the release of the RevC standard and when i google things, this forum always comes up with the best feedback.
I'm new to forums, so I'll have to feel my way through. Looking forward to being a member.

1. Name: Bill Gotschall
2. Job Title or explanation of what you do: Quality Lead/ISO Management Rep
3. Industry you're in or have been in: Actuated Valve Manufacturing
4. Company you work for and location: KZCO, Greenwood NE
5. Length of time in quality function: 2.5 months
6. Something personal that sets you apart: I am the quintessential optomistic pessimist. I know that absolutely anything is possible but probably won't happen.
7. Your pet peeve in quality (pet peeve is a minor annoyance that can instill a great level of frustration): The assumption that all would be right in the world if the quality assurance person would just go away...
8. If you could change the world of quality, what would you do? Probably just get rid of all of the negative connitations that people have about quality.

I worked production for 15 years, I moved to the machine builders shop in the same company for 5 years then at the tender age of 39 I went back to school to get my engineering degree. Real life got in the way before I graduated and I ended up where I am. I have been working in a small company as an manufacturing engineering tech for a little less than 2 years that has had no structure since it's inception and have now been asked to take on the job of setting up a quality assurance program help get us ISO certified.

I found this site while searching for help and have found it quite helpful. That is very encouraging because I will need all the help I can get!

It may have something to do with my selling skills (or lack of) or simply the economic situation we are still in. Anyway it is a minor annoyance

8. If you could change the world of quality, what would you do?: I have to be careful here as I don't want to be promoting our product. But I would like to get to the stage where our online QMS software application is generally viewed as providing a very straight forward solution, that meets all the requirements, is easy to use, and that is affordable for small to medium enterprises on a world wide basis. That is our internal philosophy and our credo (if you can say that) and we just have to make the outside world feel that way as well
