Post-Meeting Follow-up:

Eighteen Quality Professionals attend the December meeting.  We were fortunate that the forecasted Snow missed us. 

The tour participants were split into three groups to view one of the following improvement activities:
     Quality System Basics and Process Control
     Process Tool Lean Best Practices
     Quality Network Preventive Maintenance.

After an introduction in the conference room, we saw several good applications of these activities on the floor.  The feed back on the forms was very appreciative with many expressing that they would have liked to have seen more.

This tour was interesting, educational, and well planned.  Many thank to our Tour Presenters and Guides:
    Deb Hunter, Quality Manager
    Jack Enlow, QS Coordinator
    Mike Faraci, Quality Engineer
    Mike Hess, Maintenance
    Brian Alberson, Tooling
    Brain Kettler, Industrial Engineering Manager
for their valuable time in preparation and the night of the tour, and for sharing of their applications and lessons learned.

Thanks to Plant Manager Randy Tweedy for approving our Tour.

Several members met for supper at Ryan's Steakhouse after the Tour.
