NEXT MEETING - ASQ London Section 0403 presents…. KEEP
TURTLES FOR THE SOUP ! Thursday - September
14, 2006 Guest Speaker: Denis Devos of Devos Associates Denis Devos has agreed to share his presentation from the ASQ 60th World Conference on Quality and Improvement, held in May 2006 in Milwaukee. Please join us for this informative and entertaining evening. This presentation will consider why many companies, whether registered to ISO 9001:2000 or ISO/TS 16949:2002, find their Quality Managements Systems to be non-value-added, and address the degree to which emerging “process approach” system architectures solve this problem for those organizations. Most QMS architectures are still based on cumbersome procedures that must still be converted into a format that internal auditors can use to audit using the “process approach” to audit. The “Turtle Diagram” in use by most automotive organizations today, is too abstract to enable inexperienced internal auditors to conduct an effective audit of their QMS, and does not provide a tool to help auditors examine areas of risk. This alternative model, based on a simple flow-charting technique, serves the dual purpose of organizational procedure and audit checklist. The “Turtle Diagram” serves neither purpose very well, and certainly cannot be used in both roles.
Meetings are free and
