My 15 years Quality Related Activities Summary and Analysis (2008-2022)

 I always summarized my whole years’ quality related activities at the end of each year since 2008. It is my 15 years to do this summary and is a good time for me to review all my studies which I have shared to world quality professionals regularly. My quality related activities are classified as 8 different types and they are “Seminar/Webinar”, “Training/Workshop”, “Visit”, “Conference”, “Invited Speaker”, “Teaching Course”, “Professional Gathering” and “Arrange Visit to HKSTP”. The following diagram showed the overall activities from 2008 to 2022. The top frequency year is in 2015. When I serviced in HKSTP, I arranged different visits for university, government department (HKAS), professional bodies (HKIE, HKSQ) and customer. It is mainly to visit our laboratories.


For pie chart, the top three activities in 15 years period are Seminar/Webinar (42%), Professional Gathering (19%) and Conference (13%). It is my learning practice through seminar/webinar. Networking with different professional is the second and the third is attending conference including local and international. I have attended ANQ Congress for 20 years since 2003. Other activities including visit (9%), attending training/workshop (7%) and to be invited as speaker (5%), as well as, performed training course (1%).


The following analysis diagram separated each activities by years. Since the top two activities (Seminar/Webinar and Professional Gathering) are compared high frequency (within 20 to 60 per year), it is separated from other activities to draw another diagram. The other activities are drawn into the last diagram (below 20 per year). It is easier to observe the variation by year.

In the coming year, I will still attend quality related activities that I am interested in, as well as, to share for different quality professional in HKSQ, ANQ, ASQ and IAQ, etc. One of trend of my studies will be shift from quantitative to qualitative.
