CityU Guest Lecture - Implementation of ISO9001 in Science Park Laboratories and HKSQ Membership Drive

I (Former Chairman of HKSQ & Quality Manager, BDTS of HKSTPC) was pleasure to be invited as guest speaker by Dr. KS Chin to give a Industrial Lecture to students who attended SEEM4025 Quality Systems & Management of City University of Hong Kong on 28 Jan 2013.

My presentation is separated into two parts. The first part was "Experience sharing on the implementation of the Eight Management Principals in Science Park Laboratories" and the second part was "Develop Your Quality Profession with Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ)".

Firstly, I briefed the Eight Management Principals implemented in our Technology Support Centre and then discussed the combined application of ISO 9001, ISO 17025 (HOKLAS) and ISO 27001 (ISMS).

Then I introduced the coming new ISO 9001:2015 standard which scheduled to be issued in Sep 2015. Its key objectives were mentioned. Moreover, some topics were addressed by Future Concepts Task Group included "Risk Based Thinking", "More emphasis on the Quality Management Principles", "Product Conformity and Process Effectiveness", "Knowledge Management (KM)", "Improvement and Innovation", "Technology and Changes in IT", "Incorporation of Quality Tools", etc.

Secondly, I introduced the history of Hong Kong Society for Quality and our objective stated "To promote a greater awareness of the need for quality in Hong Kong for ensuring product and service excellence through continuous improvement of quality and customer satisfaction, and to provide continuing education to professionals involved in quality and reliability." Then different certification schemes in HKSQ were briefed. HKSQ membership and student project competition, as well as, Asia Network for Quality (ANQ) were also mentioned.

I had almost attended all ANQ Congress in the past and would attend the coming ANQ Congress 2013 in Thailand. Finally, three HKSQ accredited courses in SEEM department were introduced and they were "SEEM3053: Quality Improvement: Systems and Methodologies", "SEEM6047: Quality Improvement: Systems and Methodologies", and "SEEM3068: Quality Management for Laboratory Operations".
