Message from the Chair
Dear ASQ Member,
Hello and welcome to the NY/NJ Metropolitan Section of the American Society for Quality (ASQ). I encourage you explore our site see what makes up our organization.
As the newly elected Chair of this section, I look forward to building on the strong foundation set by our past chairs in providing our members with educational programs, engaging section events and opportunities to network with other quality professionals. Our approach is to provide an atmosphere for learning and a platform to expand the principles that make up ASQ.
So I invite you to visit us during one of our upcoming General Section Meetings. This is a great opportunity to meet your fellow members; learn a little more about our section and get a taste of the programs we offer throughout the year.
Please feel free to contact me via e-mail if you have any questions.
See you at the next meeting……
Regards,
Sandor G. Juhasz, Chair
NY/NJ Metropolitan Section
Results of the August 2013 Membership Survey
We had 90 responses out of 458 members, which is almost 20%. However, only 62 (69%) completed the entire questionnaire. At weekly intervals, we sent three reminder letters to those that did not respond.
Listed here are some details of the Survey:
28 (35%) out of 81 said that they attended a section Dinner Meeting last year. 35% of 458 members surveyed is 160. We certainly never had such numbers at our meeting. We must conclude that these 28 respondents are more active in the Section than the non-respondents.
When asked why they did not attend, a number responded that they were not aware of the meetings. “I did not get any invitation” was a common response.
The other major reason was that the meeting was too far from home or work. When asked for an alternate location most answered New York City. One said, “Every time I was interested it was in NJ”. We need to over-communicate to our members that they can reach NJ by public transportation. Continue reading Results of the August 2013 Membership Survey
October Section Meeting – Human Design and Operator Error Detection and Prevention Methods
Human Design and Operator Error Detection and Prevention Methods, Tools and Technologies with Practical Case Studies & Examples: an interactive NJIT ASQ Chapter workshop presentation
Losses are attributable to human error. Errors can occur not only during the implementation of various processes, but also in the design and operation control of processes.
A human error means that something has been done that was not intended by the actor (meaning neither by the designer nor by the operator of a process, or procedure; meaning the same here).
A human error is a deviation from intention, expectation or desirability. Continue reading October Section Meeting – Human Design and Operator Error Detection and Prevention Methods
