Message From The CHAIR 
 
Do you have an idea for a catchy name for this newsletter? Section 0511 is
running a contest for the best newsletter name. The winner will be
announced at the April dinner meeting and treated to a free dinner at
May's dinner meeting. You don't need to be present to win - entries can be
made to me by phone or fax. See the back of this newsletter for my number. 
 
You may have heard recently about Section 0511 achieving Level IV in the
Section Management Plan (SMP), but not really understood what that meant.
The Section Management Plan created by National helps sections and
encourages more structured and more  planning-oriented by achieving
progressive levels for higher levels of forward planning and goal
achievement. Last year we used the SMP to help us structure our processes
better, push ourselves to plan our goals and how to reach them, focus on
meeting specific needs of people in our membership, and reach out to the
community around us. Through a lot of hard work and dedication, we reached
Level IV, the highest level defined in the plan. Please join us on January
18th at The Silver Plate as we receive a plaque from our Regional
Director, Steve Bailey, identifying us as a Level IV section. Each year we
must re- qualify, and we will attempt to maintain our level for 1994-95. 
 
The Board has decided to take on the difficult task of updating the
Section by-laws. Originally written and adopted in 1983, the by-laws have
become somewhat outdated and need to reflect the current methods and
processes. As these by-laws will be put to a general vote by the
membership, you will be seeing these changes in the coming months. We
appreciate your support in this effort. 
 
Once again our Education Committee has a great line-up of classes and
workshops for the coming months. The ISO-9000 Users' Group and Measuring
Organizational Performance Study Group continue to grow and tackle new
subjects. And don't forget the Process An analysis Workshop in February.
Jump in and take advantage of these valuable opportunities. 
 
Got a comment, complaint, or "attaboy" for us? Give me a call - I'd love
to hear from you. Remember, your Board is here to meet your needs.

Education Committee Update
Chair:  Jim Wilson
 
Your Education Committee has responded to the results of our membership
survey by offering a Customer Service Seminar, your first choice of
educational needs.  The seminar was held on Saturday morning (your first
choice), 19 November at the Fairfax City L Library Meeting Room.  Lea
Edwards was the seminar leader.  She did an excellent job!  The library
opened its doors at 10:00 a.m. and we were ready with coffee, juices,
bagels, muffins, and white seedless grapes for our attendees. 
 
We had 21 reservations and 14 attendees.  Ten of those attending were ASQC
members.  The guests were provided with ASQC membership application
materials. 
 
 
Lea discussed things that really matter to a customer, their total buying
experience, and the problems that arise when we don't know enough about
our customers' perceptions.  She described the Discovery Approach to
understanding customers.  We were expose d to the notion of Moments of
Truth, any episode in which the customer comes into contact with the
organization and gets an impression of its service.  We used a Cycle of
Service Model in a small group exercise to better understand the Moments
of Truth a customer experiences in doing business with us.  And, finally,
we used a Customer Value Model to determine ways to link service quality
measurements with work process improvement. 
 
 
Our next event to respond to your priority educational needs is a Workshop
on Work Process Analysis, planned for Saturday, 14 January 1995 at the
Fairfax City Library Meeting Room.  The workshop will be conducted by two
of our very own Education Committee Members, David Kae and David Williams. 
David Kae is a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer.  LCDR David Williams,
USCG, travels around the country giving seminars and workshops on
implementing quality.  Since these workshop leaders are hands-on
practitioners , they will integrate proven quality management tools into a
problem-solving/decision-making structure for you. 
 
 
Because registration is limited, all participants must be pre-registered.

The November meeting of the MOP Study Group featured Barry DesRoches who
is Senior Management Analyst in the Office of Chief Counsel in the IRS.
Mr. DesRoches's presentation began with an overview of the IRS' systems
approach to management based on cross- functional business systems. He
then illustrated the questions and procedures they used to develop key
performance measures. He emphasized that measures will not work if they do
not make sense to the people involved in the measurement process.

So you have read the Team Handbook, Memory Jogger, Memory Jogger Plus,
and/or have been to workshops on good quality management tools and their
uses.  Or you haven't consulted the foregoing literature, but you know
some of the tools and have an idea they may be useful if you just knew
what to do with them.  Now what?  What do you do with all this valuable
knowledge? 
 
Section 0511's Process Improvement Workshop is what you need to help you
find the answers.  The Workshop will integrate proven quality management
tools into a problem- solving/decision-making structure. 
 
The Workshop will consist of a brief overview of quality,
customer-supplier relationships, and continuous improvement.  Several
problem-solving models will be reviewed, a recommended model incorporating
the best of each will be discussed, and the group  will work through some
simple problems.  There will also be a brief discussion on process
measurement, i.e., the steps, tools, and output. 
 
To register for the Process Improvement Workshop, call Kathy Kreh,

NOVA
Quality Systems Education
Spring 1995
 
 
In 1987, the International Organization for Standardization, representing
more than 90 countries, published a series of quality assurance standards
- the ISO 9000 Series. The intent of these standards was to provide a
common world-wide set of quality system em guidelines, requirements and
measurable evaluation criteria. First intended for companies doing
business in the European Community, ISO 9000 is fast becoming a key
strategic tool for thousands of companies in the United States. Government
agencies world-wide d-wide are beginning to use the standard, including the U.S.
Department of Defense (DOD) which has authorized the optional use of the
ISO 9000 standards on military contracts instead of the MIL-Q-9858A. 
 
The NOVA Woodbridge Campus, in conjunction with the American Society for
Quality Control (ASQC), Northern Virginia Chapter, offers up-to-date
information on the status of ISO 9000 registration requirements, and
implementation tools and techniques and gene general program development
support. Most courses qualify for ASQC recertification units (R.U.'s). For
additional information about this program, Call (703)-878-5654. 
 
ISO 9000 General Overview .4 CEU $65.00 Implementing ISO 9000 requires
commitment and guidance from the top. This four-hour overview is designed
to: provide a basic understanding of the ISO series of standards; define
the purpose and benefits a company may realize before, during and after
registration , define the registration process; discuss how to select an
appropriate registrar; and discuss management's role in the transition.
This course will help you understand what ISO 9000 is and how it works and
help you decide whether it's right for your organization.

BOOK REVIEW

_The Change Agents' Handbook: A Survival Guide for Quality Improvement 
Champions_ by David W. Hutton, published by ASQC Quality Press (P.O. Box 
3005, Milwaukee, WI 53201-3005) 1994, 344 pp, $24.95 (list)
 
A Book Review by Norman C. Frank, PE, CQE, CQA
CER Corporation
 
_The Change Agents' Handbook_ provides a wealth of information and serves
as an excellent reference for effectively understanding the change process
and for effectively initiating change within your organization.  The book
is directed at all champions of  change, which includes all levels of
management, all advocates and activists, and all official change agents. 
This book would be particularly useful to the "ISO Coordinator" required
by the ISO 9000 series standards. 
 
Seventy-two exhibits provide drawings, diagrams, tables, guidance, and
tools to help make the material easily understandable.  The initial
chapters follow a time sequence beginning with the
identification/assignment of a change agent.  The requirements of the job,
the characteristics of a successful change agent, and the initial steps to
initiate a new process are contained in the first five chapters.  The next
three chapters cover managing the change and using your resources, both
internal and external. 
 
Perhaps the newly assigned change agent should read the final chapter
first.  The final chapter provides a look at reality by covering "Personal
Survival and Growth" with subtitles: What the Job Is Like, Real-Life
Experience The Agony and the Ecstasy, Looking king After Yourself, and Knowing
Yourself. 
 
Four appendices provide brief overviews of some knowledge areas needed by
a change agent.  Subjects covered include "Quality in a Nutshell", "The
Body of Knowledge" (covering more than just quality), "Strategies,
Methodologies, Tools, and Techniques" (covering ering various quality tools and
approaches to achieve gains and change), and "Sources" (covering books,
videos, and organizations).  Missing are pointers to the quality forums
and electronic bulletin boards now available. 
 
_The Change Agents' Handbook_ provides good information for anyone who
must work within or work to achieve change.  Quality Press has once again
provided an excellent book for the quality professional and for
management.

OPINION
Henry Kling-14 August 1994
 
 
Business management problems come in five categories:  Profit,
Productivity, People, Paper-work, and Politics (the 5 P's).  But is that
all there is?  We work so hard at making money, paying taxes, and obeying
laws that we forget where we're going with all l of that. 
 
All of that is a means to an end.  So what is that end?  Is there anything
more important than to get where we're going?  No.  Then where are we
going? 
 
The answer is we are going to be happy.  Natural law says that we are
designed to be happy.  You don't need to tell that to children;  but
adults sometimes need reminding. 
 
Thus, when we see the massive loss of jobs due to Business Process
Reengineering, we have to ask Senior Managers whether they've forgotten
the difference between what's important and what's worthwhile. 
 
To get where we're going (long-term happiness), that's important. And the
things we need to get there are worth while.  To be happy in the long
term, we need sufficient health, wisdom, and wealth.  In other words, from
the King Midas story, we learn the foolishness of turning everything into
gold.  The bottom line contributes only partly to the quality of life. 
 
Down-sizing or right-sizing by Reengineering seems like the common sense
thing to do, especially during a dip in the business cycle.  But is it
wise? Losing a job is a major shock, especially when there's no job
vacancy elsewhere.  What effect does down-s down-sizing have on the quality of
life in our community?  Poverty?  Crime?  Disease? Bottom line myopia is
unwise. 
 
What good does it do to raise children and educate them for jobs that no
longer exist? So what can we do?  Join the underground economy (the
unreported gains in a barter system)? 
 
What else can we do?  Susana Barciela gave examples of creative management
in a recent Washington Post article: 
 
1.  Instead of layoffs, Lincoln Electric cut back work-hours 25% and used
down-time to do those things that they never seem to have enough time for.
Also, they cross-trained volunteers to become sales persons.

CEO compensation.  How long can we continue our negligent, inconsiderate
ways at the expense of society?
