Message From The CHAIR
Summer never seems long enough anymore - here comes Fall! We're off to a
running start, providing certification programs, workshops, and seminars.
Plans for the National Quality Month Celebration promise an outstanding
program. CQA/CQE courses are available this semester at low cost to
members through Section 0509, in addition to offerings by several local
companies. Contact Education Chair Jim Wilson for details.
Results from the ISO 9000 Users' Group survey are back - see how your
views compared with others'. The Section 0511 membership survey has also
just been completed, and will be reported to you in the next issue -
please watch for it. Our seminars and workshops are built on the topics
most requested by the survey responses. Your input helps us to serve you
better!
Last year was a great success for us in the Section Management Plan - we
received Level IV status (highest available on ranking). To get there, we
initiated more planning, focused more on our goals, learned more about our
processes, and started growth and outreach programs. Walter Mendus
shepherded us through and his perseverance paid off. Thanks, Walter! Our
dinner meetings this year will parallel Quality Progress topics. And to
start off the year, we are acknowledging companies and individuals who have
given us great support. In July, we thanked ADI Technology Inc. for their
support - in September we will thank Inchcape Testing Services (formerly
Intertek). Please join us to give them a hearty "Thank Q."
Do you know any organizations that would like a speaker on the topic of
quality - a high school career day, Kiwanis Club, Chamber of Commerce?
Contact our Professional Liaison Chair, Barba Affourtit, for an engagement
with our Speakers Bureau (over 20 available speakers on a wide range of
quality topics).
We welcome several new Board Members this year - Tony Pastuszak for
Newsletter, Bob Gehagan for Student Activities, Jim Wilson for Education,
and David Simmons for Health Care (also, the Division Chair for Health
Care). Please take the opportunity to get to know them - we're here to help
you!
The Section 0511 Board is anxious to help you reach your goals in the
quality arena. Call on us with any questions or assistance you may have for
us. See you at the Silver Plate!

First ISO 9000 Users' Group Meeting is a Success!
Eight-eight area professionals attended the first ISO 9000 User's Group
meeting on July 26, 1994 at NEC America in Herndon, Virginia. The meeting
was sponsored by NEC America, ASQC Chapter 0511 and CEEM. Mr. Kevin Cooper
provided an excellent presentation on the revisions to the ISO 9000
standards. His presentation began with an overview of the standards and
reviewed clause by clause the pending changes. Mr. Cooper's experience and
practical approach to ISO implementation enhanced the discussion. CEEM
representatives were also on hand to display the latest books and other
reference material available on ISO 9000. The meeting was an excellent
opportunity to learn more about the standards and network with other
professionals.
If you missed the first meeting, don't despair. The Users' Group will meet
every other month with the next meeting scheduled for September 27, 1994 at
7 p.m. at NEC America. (For further details concerning this meeting, please
refer to the Meetings Section of this Newsletter).
For information on the ISO 9000 Users' Group Email Discussion List, send
email to Bill Casti at: asqc0511@vector.casti.com .
ISO Users' Group Survey Results
Surveys were sent out prior to the first ISO 9000 Users' Group meeting to
learn more about prospective members. The results revealed that 95% of the
user members were not registered to the ISO 9000 standard. However, 65%
anticipated registration to the 9001 standard, and 42% of the companies
included software design and development. The survey also revealed
additional information about the companies as described below:
Type Of Business
Commercial 20%
Govt. Contractor 37%
Fed./State Govt. 13%
Consultant/Contractor 30%
Type Of Industry
Manufacturing 17%
Services 35%
Design & Development 35%
Other 13%
Results of the survey also indicated that many of the users are seeking to
improve their knowledge and understanding of the ISO standards. For
example, the following statistics are based on the actual number of people
responding in each of the following catagories:
Level of ISO Knowledge
Very Low/Little 12
Low/Some 21
Moderate 22
High 09
ISO Training
Overview 22
Implementation 05
Documentation 06
Lead Auditor 12
None 27
The respondents indicated that the primary benefits expected for
participation in the Users' Group are to gain information on the ISO 9000
implementation, gather general information on the standards, and to network
with other area professionals. We greatly appreciate the feed back from the
members and hope that your participation in the group will assist us in
providing these benefits. We hope to expand the planning committee and ask
for volunteers to aid with the coordination of future meetings. If you
would like to volunteer or require further information, please contact one
of the following ISO 9000 User's Group committee members:

instituted this technical committee for those who work on implementing
Total Quality Management in the government. For their first newsletter,
please call Henry Kling on 703-360-9134.
FROM THE EDITORS DESK
Well, we're OFF! The start for this Newsletter was a little bumpy but who
would have dreamed that we would have lost two 540M hard drives over a
month-and-a-half. My respect for Murphy and his gremlins only increases
over every such experience. But now to business.
Are you aware that ADI Technology Corporation has a solid base for
training personnel in the auditing disciplines. ADI has had four
successful years since teaching began in the CQA arena, as the following
figures demonstrate:
CQA Course Results
National Avg ADI Avg
Dec/91 29% 88%
Jun/92 37% 80%
Dec/92 41% 72%
Jun/93 33% 79%
Dec/93 45% 78%
Jun/94 N/A 75%
For your information, the ADI CQA Review Course provides basic quality
auditing tools and concepts and prepares the student for the ASQC CQA
Examination. It is typically a 12 week course utilizing lectures, case
study teams, and practice tests to present the material. All areas of the
ASQC CQA Body of Knowledge are included in this course. Although it is
probably too late to enroll in the September Classes, you may want to jot a
calendar note on this item or contact ADI for further information. Call ADI
at 703-892-2740 and ask to speak with information or ask for Harvey Shaw.
Now to our next item, OPINIONS. As Henry Kling would say, "Opinions are

Well, Henry is right. And, recognizing that all of you carry talents,
specialty skills, and experiences from a diverse set of disciplines, I
