And then Liz announced the 1st Quality Laureate – Noriaki Kano and presented IAQ Awards to all awardees online and onsite.

Dr. Chad Laux (Purdue University) presented the topic entitled “Applying FMEA Principles to the Sex Trafficking Process: A Risk Mitigation Approach”.  Human trafficking is “the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud, or deception, with the aim of exploiting them” Dr. Laux said.

The related SDGs included 3 – Good health and well-being, 5 – Gender equality and 8 – Decent work and economic growth.  He briefed the background that the goal is to develop more robust detection technologies to mitigate and disrupt the human trafficking supply chain.

And then Dr. Laux mentioned the objective to apply a systems engineering approach to understand the human sex trafficking process in order to identify efficient ways to mitigate.  He constructed a business process map (BPM) to identify roles and main process steps.

After that he employed Failure Mode and Effects Analysis to identify the most likely failure modes where criminal elements are likely to fail. FMEA results for top 3 failure modes identified from law enforcement officer, professor and victim advocate were presented. He concluded top failure modes had the highest potential for preventing the crime early in its process. 

New member introduction session: Paul Borawski introduced his quality journey in ASQ. Then I shared our photo taken with Paul and HKSQ exco member in ANQ 2011 in Vietnam.

During the break, Liz presented certificate and took photos continuously.

The second part was presented by ASQ representatives and topic was “ASQ-ASQE WCQI IAQ Update”. They quoted W. Edwards Deming statement that “It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory.” 

ASQ and ASQE is a dual entity model to deliver enhanced value. This transformation is started in 2019 for considering risk management and business model innovation.  Dual model necessitated by US tax restrictions on growth and strategic initiatives to enhance value and mission impact.  ASQ and ASQE are independent, yet complementary, entities that share a mission of bringing value and quality solutions to individuals and organizations.

In ASQE, they are responsible to certificate operation update and organizational membership update, as well as, insights on excellence.  ASQE had accredited ISO 17024 by ANAB.

The third guest speaker was Prof. Yasuyuki Nishioka (Hosei University) and his presentation title named “A Framework of Smart Thinking for Quality Control on Manufacturing Organization using IVI Sixteen Diagrams”.  Firstly, Prof. Nishioka briefed the key concepts of “Connected manufacturing” and “Loosely Defined Standard (UDS)”.

Then Prof. Nishioka briefed the smart manufacturing reference architecture including EU i4.0, Asia/Japan SMU and USA Lifecycle process. And then described Smart Manufacturing Unit (SMU) in three views: Asset, Activity and Management.

After that he introduced the smart organization and smart thinking that sharing digitally to strengthen organization power, self-learn and transformation for sustainable evolution, as well as, new connection and cooperation.

Finally, Prof. Nishioka described Smart Thinking Cycle using four stages for smartness including AS-IS, TO-BE, CAN-BE and CAN-DO. 

Lastly, Prof. Nishioka mentioned the sixteen diagram of the smart thinking and employed IVI Modeler 2022 to demonstrate its application.

The last speaker was new member Prof. Ahmad Elshennawy and he shared his quality journey to us.

Prof. Elshennawy briefed how he creating quality leaders through his quality classes. He also briefed his philosophy that empower plus teach & provide guidance to get successful graduates.  Lastly, he shared his current research named “Using Cost Engineering Approaches for Improving the Outcome of DFSS Projects”.
