ABOUT THE EVENT In this presentation, Luc Juneau and Avrum Goldman will share lessons learned from their combined 70 years of experience building Quality into Aerospace products and services. They have seen a wide range of Escape Management events, across the entire value stream and the global supply network. They have condensed this experience into thought-provoking observations and “do’s and don’ts” for how to turn the worst of Quality Escapes into “golden nuggets” for your organization! ABOUT YOUR SPEAKERS Luc Juneau is a graduate from “École Nationale d'Aeronautique" and has worked at Pratt & Whitney Canada for over 38 years. He has worked in over 18 different Quality discipline functions, starting as a NDT inspector certified for 7 types of inspection, and progressing through Inspector in Manufacturing areas, Supply Chain, Supervision of Inspection, and Manager in Aftermarket Quality, MRB function & TCA Authorized Inspector. He is currently Manager of control of nonconforming material process & procedures for the Quality Vice-President Office for the last 18 years, where this process has constantly improved. Luc is known for his passion & his drive in Quality in regards to the multi-disciplinary team approach to problem solving. Luc also provides training on escape management process philosophy, both internally and to other UTC member companies. Avrum Goldman (B. Eng, M. Eng, SSGB, CQE) has worked at Pratt & Whitney Canada for 32 years. He has worked in Engineering (Design, Analytical, and Project Engineering), Quality (Supply Chain and Aftermarket) and Airworthiness (TCA DAA for PT6 engine design and for repair design). He is currently the Program Quality Leader for the new PW800 family of engines. Avrum gives seminars at Pratt & Whitney on topics including Engine familiarization, ACE, Quality, Airworthiness and Human factors. Both his parents were teachers, so he just can’t help it! *****************************************

So what is it exactly about summer that makes all good intentions go awry? When I signed up to be a speaker at this year's ASQ Canada Conference in Ottawa (September 25-26, 2017), my good/grand/optimistic intention was to be able to submit my presentation well before the due date of August 25th. Plenty of time to fit that in, I surmised. The date: August 6, 2017. As I sit down in front of my T.V. to watch a DVD from a Pink Floyd box set I recently purchased, I decided to watch CNN for a brief moment. In that moment, the announcer on the screen had the good sense to use the words "Quality" and "Conference" in the same sentence, although not together. My reaction . . . "HOLY (insert vulgar word here)!!!!!!!" Because I am a serious Quality professional, I proceeded to do the only logical thing . . . watch the Pink Floyd DVD. But not before blocking off my evenings for the upcoming week to complete my presentation. Summer has a way of taking us away from our working lives, especially here in Canada where we actually have 4 distinct seasons (yet winter somehow seems to be 2 of them, psychologically speaking). In the end, I submitted my presentation on time, and now I look forward to the conference to be able to deliver it. As well, I look forward to meeting like-minded, like-employed people with whom I can discuss important topics . . . such as the pluses and minuses of our Canadian summers! Hope to see you at the conference. Registration is open, so please go ahead and join us. *******************************************************

A Word
from
your Section Chair
Buzz words. Ever wonder why they make people buzz? One I particularly like is "Urban". It is so popular nowadays that it is not unusual to see it attached to any promotion. Lately I have seen or read it accompanying these words: "Griffintown is the new Urban style; Urban café; Urban condo; Urban life; Urban yoga; Urban rodeo; Urban this and Urban that." Remember when the word Quality was used as a buzz word? Why is it that, in today’s competing world, the word Quality or ISO still means the same as the word urban to this Cathy in a late sixties’ Newlywed game show episode? If you have some success in an enterprise, it doesn’t mean you have a good enterprise. Like an accountant used to say: "Although you make money, you are nevertheless losing a lot". What that really means is that making money doesn’t guarantee good business management; just means that you are in a good channel (at this time). The question to ask is: "How long will the alignment of the planets last?". Like this old saying "If I had only known then what I know today". This company I audited the recently had a QMS driven by young dudes, from who I was surprised to hear a statement like "Now that I have managed with ISO9001, I don’t know how I could ever work differently in a job where there is no Quality Management System". Lately my daughter worked for a small vet shop. Everyone (including the pet) entering the place was sure to have a warm welcome. Comments on Facebook all went this way: "Being a business of 5 you could not afford to lose the expertise but shit happens". Two left around the same time. The clinic manager was in a state of panic. Just so happened that my daughter had applied for a job there and was called to start the next day after what seemed to be a good (selling) interview with the owner. She worked there two days (of 12 hours). She was trained by a technician that had no aptitude in communication, and although she had never used this specific vet clinic software for billing, she also had to figure out how to manage the hand held credit/debit card reader. At the end of her second day, she was asked by the owner if she loved animals and how come she did not care as much about pets as she did for clients. She was dumbfounded, speechless; she love animals. Although the interview had clearly demonstrated her lacks, she was nevertheless expected to perform as a replacement. Management was not ready, caught by surprise doing unprepared interviews and expecting fast replacement without proper training. The job was described to the candidate, but turned out to be everything else but the proposed job. All of this would have been acceptable for a time, until the clinic returned to normal business but the way technicians spoke to each other was toxic. It turned out that the manager was treating employees the same. This environment would have failed §7.1.4 in the latest version of ISO9001 "Environment for the Operation of Processes", clause a): social (non-confrontational) and b) psychological (emotionally protective). Never mind the clause §7.4 d): How to communicate and clause §7.2: Competence. When you take ISO as a management base, you slowly start to put in place a structure that will benefit the organization when planets DO misalign. It’s not protecting you from the bad; it’s just preparing you to stay alive when those unprepared around you start disappearing. No need to be the fastest runner in front of the lion, just make sure you are not the slowest. My daughter is now looking for another job around animals (in a clinic with some kind of QMS). ******************************************************* There is still time to register for the September 25-26 Ottawa conference. The presentations are well polished, they have been reviewed by the organizers, and this first Canadian conference will certainly pave the way, north of the border, for a sequel. 647 words |

Had
You Come
to the
Last Event
By
Eric Hosking, Senior Fellow of Quality at PWC, BApSc in Mech Eng, MBA,
CQE, CSSBB and CQA
 Had you come . . . Golf Tournament Friday,
July 7th, 2017 saw hordes of avid ASQ member/golfers gather at Bas de
Roc
Golf Course in Joliette. The tournament was the usual scramble format
with the best ball of the foursome being selected for each shot. This
was not much help for some foursomes comprised of players who only golf
once a year at this event, but for others it meant nice sub par scores
for their foursome.
The weather cooperated most of the day. Only the last two foursomes were subject to a deluge that lasted about 10 minutes and then cleared up right away. Thank goodness for covered golf carts. As usual the day was followed by a relaxing cocktail (beer and chips) on the terrace where networking abounded and then a wonderful dinner in the clubhouse. There were participation prizes for all and a test of golf knowledge table event, explaining for example why "scramble" is not "best ball". Sponsors included Ovide Cote and his wife Denyse (who awarded the longest drives and the closest to the pin prizes and the Prix de Presence), BSI, Shainin and Janick Brunet who provided wonderful Tupperware merchandise. Until next year . . . |
