HKSQ Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2022/2023 was held on 18^th Aug 2023 both online and onsite in CityU. We invited our former chairman Dr. Aaron Tong to give us AGM Seminar named “Minus Quality Assurance (-QA) (減法品質保證)”. In the beginning, Dr. Jane Wong (Chairman, HKSQ) introduced our guest speaker for AGM seminar.

The AGM Seminar “Minus Quality Assurance (-QA) (減法品質保證)” started before AGM. Dr. Aaron Tong firstly briefed the traditional quality assurance (Plus Quality Assurance) and compared with his approach Minus Quality Assurance. (I attended online.)

Then he shared his study experience by W. Edwards Deming in USA. And then he briefed his quality journal that he is the first man to introduce ISO 9001 into Mainland after his company got the first ISO 9001 certificate in Hong Kong.

After that he mentioned one of his honor achievement that awarded China Outstanding Quality Professional (中國傑出質量人) in 2017.

Finally, he explained quality is not the problem. “How to solve quality problem” is the problem. 

Lastly, Dr. Aaron Tong demonstrated how to use the concept of Minus Quality Assurance in his different customers to achieve the improvement on Time, Quality and Money!
