I am glad to be invited by Dr. Victor Lo to participate HKU Quality Management Student Forum on 13 April 2011. The forum is part of IELM6042 Quality management under MSc(Eng) in Industrial Engineering and Logistics Management.



The first speaker was Mr. Clay Zhang (Quality Assurance Manager, Product Supply, Procter & Gamble HK Ltd.) who was one of MSc students to share his experience and his topic was "Sharing on P&G Quality System". Mr. Zhang described QA scope included R&D, manufacturing, testing, storage, distribution and marketing.



He said that P&G employed Scorecard for warehouse and introduced the quality incident identification. There were different Quality Incident (QI) and Significant QI (SQI). The QI separated into four categories including Contamination, Inappropriate Release, Inadvertent Shipment, and Damage Degradation After Shipment.



One of interested problem was overlabelling. Mr. Zhang explained customer would like to know what information hinded behind the label.
