Before the congress, a traditional Chinese Lion dance was performed.
In the beginning, Mr. Kenneth Liang (Chairperson of ANQ and SQI) gave a welcome speech and he would like to thank keynote speakers, STB and NTU for supporting ANQ Congress 2014; as well as to thanks all sponsors and participants. He pointed out the congress theme “Sustaining Productivity Growth through Quality Metamorphosis for Exellence” and highlighted ANQ Recognition for Excellence in Quality Practice (ARE-QP) Award for best practices in organizations and Ishikawa-Kano Award (IKA) for the best individual for remarkable contributions.
Then Dr. Tan Cher Ming (Chairperson, Organising Committee; Asso. Professor of NTU) gave a welcome address to us. He gave his highest commendation to their organizing committee members as all of them were volunteers. In fact, such commitment and team effort were essential in any organization if quality to be ensured into the product.
The first keynote speaker was Prof. Noriaki Kano (Professor Emeritus, Tokyo University of Science; Honorary Chairperson, ANQ; and Academician, IAQ). His presentation the topic entitled “Sales and Quality”. In the beginning, Prof. Kano performed a short survey to identify number of participants belonging to which categories of quality they worked or researched. The results were as follows:
A. Quality Product
A1 – Defective / Rejection / Complaints (20) → Q1
A2 – Features / Style (0) → Q2
A3 – Reliability / Safety (10) → Q1
A4 – Satisfaction / Loyalty (50) → Q1, Q2
A5 – Warranty Conditions/ Insurance (5) → Q3
B. Quality of Service / Health Care (50)
C. Others (10)
Then Prof. Kano explained that eliminating customer troubles and loss was the most basic step. Reducing company failure cost was at the next step. The Advance step was to challenge Sales Growth by enhancement and creation of quality that we needed to clarify the relationship between Sales and Quality. He introduced the Sales Revenue Model in Buyer’s Market that Sales (S) = Demand (D) * Market (M) * Product (P).
Finally, Prof. Kano summarized Sales depended on Demand and Marketing Share. Demand included “Change of market structure” and “Appropriateness of demand prediction method”. Market Share included “Business Approach Ratio” and “Successful Ratio”. In here, Successful Ratio included Quality (Q1-Past; Q2-Present and Q3-Future), Price, Delivery and Sales Activities. He concluded that Quality is necessary condition but is not a sufficient condition for Sales in which is depended on Quality through Past, Present and Future.
The second keynote speaker was Prof. Goh Thong Ngee (Professor, National University of Singapore) and his topic entitled “Future-proofing Quality Professional”. Prof. Goh said the responsibilities and contribution of quality professionals were never static because of modes of operation and requirement of society never cease to change. Then he quoted Peter F. Drucker statement of Change – If you want something new, you have to stop doing something old.
Prof. Goh briefed 5D Orientation in School below:
1. Deterministic and deductive reasoning
2. Disjointed studies
3. Device-orientation
4. Discrete products
5. Detached concern
Then he mentioned two important things which were “Statistical Thinking” and “System Engineering”. He also said 5D in School focused on Hardware. But the trend was Hardware (H/W) → Software (S/W) → Service. Service is everywhere in modern life!
Finally, Prof. Goh concluded the transition from “5D” to new “5S” for success.
The new 5S stated as follows:
1. Statistical Thinking
2. Systems Perspective
3. Software Integration
4. Service Orientation
5. Sustainability Concerns
After keynote speeches, Prof. Yung-Ho Suh (Former Chairman, KSQM) introduced the Ishikawa-Kano Award (IKA) winners included Mr. Shen Jianfang (Chairman of Shanghai Highly (Group) Co., Ltd.), Prof. Gennady Voronin (President, Russian Organization for Quality) and Dr. Tan Cher Ming (Asso.

After the lunch break, CAQ, CSQ, SQI and SQAT perform a meeting for preparing the 3rd Chinese Quality Forum in Beijing next year.
After that I presented in the parallel session named OB1-1: Other Business I. My presentation topic named “Investigation on the Measurement Uncertainty of Scanning Electron & Acoustic Microscopy under HOKLAS scheme”. Firstly, I introduced Technology Support Centre in HKSTP and HOKLAS scheme for laboratory accreditation. Then I explained the analysis of uncertainty measurement and key factors to be considered.
Reviewed the uncertainty models of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM), the QA practices such as QC and Inter-laboratory Comparison test were discussed. This paper contributed how to measure electronic component using advance equipment accuracy and reliable. Before end of my talk, I received the speaker certificate from the SQI session chair.
Prof. Philip Chan’s Postdoctoral Fellowships (University of Quebec in Montreal, CANADA) were also presented in different session below. I knew Prof. Philip Chan through ISSC and he signed his new book named "Continuous Improvement" to me in 2012.
I took a photo with them for memory.

Dr. Frederick So presented “Environmental Considerations in the Construction Industries in Hong Kong and China” in the other sector named “EN1-1 Environment”. His research aimed to find a product to replace timber, simultaneously to train more workers to resolve the insufficient laborur’s problem.
Dr. Eddie Liu presented “Developing C2C Retail Entrepreneurship with Opportunities and Challenges: A Hong Kong Example”. He pointed out that C2C (consumer-to-consumer) eCommerce is easy to go in for its low entry barrier, but harder to excel as most peopole would think.

The policy at this stage was threefold: practice based teaching, implementation on a real life problem and measurement of results.
He summarized his client got the innovation results included 337 project completed, 5 patent granted, 10 patents filed and 20 patents ready for filling.
