Part II: AS 9101 - A presentation on the standard AS 9101 in aerospace will be give n to learn the changes and the new requirements about the 9100-series standards and to apply them in everyday’s life to conduct audits. This presentation is a hot topic and the timing is perfect. It will cover the new AS9101 Assessment Tool, used for all 9100-series standards. The document has just been approved by the IAQG and will be published around the first of April. The changes to this document are earth shattering and will change the way aerospace audits are conducted. Suppliers must know what is in the document as it will impact the audit greatly. It is no longer a checklist, but a requirements document. It includes an audit criteria that is not in the standard.
Includes supper and

The
Editor's Corner
Active aging
The unemployment rate has increased recently, but it would be a temporary situation since a labour shortage is expected in a few years. This shortage would be partly filled by older workers who would stay at work longer. Last week, during the 2010-2011 budget deposit, Minister Bachand announced the creation of the Commission Nationale Sur La Participation Au Marché Du Travail whose mandate is to propose solutions to the decline in the working-age population. While they will try to find ways to keep active older workers or to bring back retired workers to the work force, companies everywhere are also taking the employee succession issue seriously. They have to pass the expert knowledge and techniques to younger generations and find ways to save working hours. Companies must find solutions so the work continues and need less resources after the highly skilled employees retire. One way to do it is by implementing a Continuous improvement culture. Continuous improvement consists of an ongoing effort to improve products, services or processes seeking “incremental” improvement over time or “breakthrough” improvement all at once. Tools and methods often used are plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle, Six Sigma, Lean, and Total Quality Management. |

A
Word from your Section Chair
At
our event in March Brenda Fisk Brenda Fisk (ASQ Deputy Regional
Director 2008/2009) animated the group with thought provoking questions
as to the role of ASQ and what could be done for our members, which
resulted in lively discussion as to the direction and services the
section could contemplate for the future.
For those considering a career as a Quality Professional not only do I encourage you to join as a member but you should also consider taking courses and/or obtaining certification from ASQ in order to get recognition for your expertise and qualifications. 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. Please come and join us for great evening of learning and networking. |
