Advanced Class IV for I Ching (易經高班IV)–Lecture 3

Minda and I attended Prof. Pang’s (彭泓基教授) advanced class IV for I Ching (易經高班 IV) (6A class) the 3^rd lecture which was held on 30^th Nov 2024. We had breakfast in tea houses (茶餐廳) near the venue. 

In the beginning, Prof. Pang discussed I Ching and Buddhism (易經與佛教). He said Taoism focused on Heaven (天) and nourishing of life in concept, where Confucianism focused on people relation (人). However, Buddhism was most details on Self-cultivation.

Then he briefed the original of Buddhism and its philosophy. 

Many classmates attended the lecture onsite. 

Gautama Buddha, founder of Buddhism was introduced. Buddha concluded that “Life is Bitter” (人生是苦).

The foundation of Buddhism theory on Four Noble Truths (四諦: 苦、集、滅、道). Prof. Pang used management terms to explain four noble truths as follows: 1. Identify the problem; 2. Understand the problem; 3. Finding the solution; and 4. Taking Actions.

After that Prof. Pang said external condition affected our state of mind. However, our mood can also change the external condition feeling. 

Then he briefed the twelve Links of Dependent Origination (十二因緣) that is similar to 12 stages of life in Bazi (八字的十二長生). It is a life cycle like Qian Gua (乾卦) and Kun Gua (坤卦).

And then he mentioned Karma (業報) and Reincarnation (輪迴).

Finally, Prof. Pang said Three Dharma Seals (三法印: 諸行無常，諸法無我，寂靜涅槃) that is judgment criteria or principles to evaluation your method.

Lastly, Prof. Pang showed the book named “靈棋經” that is ancient Chinese divination book. We would use it in the lecture 6. 

After the lecture, all classmates had lunch with Prof. Pang.

HKSQ Quality Month Seminar - “Subtractive Quality Assurance 減法質量–Mitsubishi Case”

Hong Kong Society for Quality (HKSQ) and TQM Consultants Co. Ltd.  coorganized the World Quality Month Seminar named “Subtractive Quality Assurance 減法質量 –Mitsubishi Case” on 29^th Nov 2024. We took a group photo with onsite participants. 

(Left: Mr. Poon Man Tak (Sun Hung Kai Properties Group), Ms. Kelly Liu (DFI Retail Group), Mr. Edmund Lau (EC Group), Dr Jane Wong (Chairman, HKSQ), Dr. Aaron Tong, Mr. CY Chan (DG Association for Quality), Ms. Minda Chiang, Ms. Angela Wong (UL VS HK Ltd.) and I)

In the beginning, Dr. Aaron Tong introduced his method named“Subtractive Quality Assurance (減法質量)”. He started to present this topic since he awarded China Outstanding Quality Professional (中國傑出質量人) in 2017.

Recently, he also won the HKIE MIS Industry Award in 2023 and HKIE Innovation Merit in 2024. 

His key concepts were reduced among Time, Quality problem and Cost at the same time.

The comparison of traditional +ve QA and his new approach -ve QA were discussed.

After that he shared six key tools named “Effect & Cause analysis”, “Fast Feedback, Fast Implement”, “HALT & HASS”, “Formation of Cross Corporation & Function Team”, “Supplier Management to be right rather than excellence” and “Optimize Product Design”

Finally, Dr. Tong shared secrets of employing key tools such as single-level bill of material (BOM). A single-level BOM represents one level of an assembly and does not include any lower-level sub-assemblies.

The other secret was failure map that identify the failure component in different location of the product. Dr. John Snow was the first person who used failure mapping to identify the source of a cholera outbreak in London in 1854.

Lastly, he achieved very good results after 6 months implementation.

At the end, we had dinner together.
