A
Word from your Section Chair
 By Gordon
Ayotte,
ASQ CQE, Section Chair
Our
sixth event of the season covered Quality tools by
François Pageau who did a wonderful presentation on the
capabilities of
a process and how to calculate them.
My Quality tools heading: Stratification - the seventh and final tool
in the 7 Basic Quality tools; separates the data into meaningful
subsets that allows to see differences where it otherwise was not, who
has not heard a supplier or an operation manager say that on average it
meets the spec, where in fact we have shipment or shifts that are above
the spec and some below, come and find out how to organize data to
reveal where the issues really lie and not be mislead with the overall
picture.
We are always interested in your comments and feedback how your ASQ
section can serve you better so please do not hesitate to contact us.
