Lunch with Mr. John Fowler (ASQ Global)

We are honor to invite Mr. John Fowler (ASQ Global Managing Director) to have lunch in the Kimberley Hotel, TST on 28 March 2011. Mr. John Fowler had joined Sino-America Quality Summit 2011 and then visited in Hong Kong. Dr. K.S. Chin represented ASQ-HK and I represented HKSQ arranged a lunch meeting with Mr. John Fowler to exchange idea for enhancing our cooperation and contribution to quality society.

We suggested to play more attention on service quality. Nevertheless, we introduced CityUHK's new programme entitled "BEng Total Quality Engineering (BETQE)" and HKSQ's new certification scheme called "Certified Laboratory Quality Specialist (CLabQS)". HKSQ employed 3 years to develop CLabQS scheme, which followed the requirement of ISO/IEC 17024 "Conformity assessment -- General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons". Moreover, the HKSQ accredited course entitled "Quality Management for Laboratory", which had launched in the Department of Biology and Chemistry (BCH), CityUHK since 2005, was also introduced.

At the end, we expressed that HKSQ as ASQ World Partner would like to contribute as much as we can to ASQ Global and ASQ-China.

In addition, we would plan to go to World Conference on Quality and Improvement on 16-18 May 2011 to celebrate ASQ 65th Anniversary.
