Bill McNeese suggested we could use her as a facilitator in our OT meeting. Some concern was expressed over how comfortable she would be in this role. No resolution was reached but two action items came out of this discussion. The conversation also dealt with the role of secretaries in natural teams. Should they be a part of ours, or should secretaries have their own natural team to deal with common problems and processes. The conversation was tabled until the next meeting. Problem Solving A round robin discussion of possible product quality measures was held. Results of the discussion are attached. The initial list was reviewed based on "what they would tell us" and the list cleaned-up. It was decided not to include "service" related items such as on-time delivery. Discussion was held regarding the pros and cons of measuring only products shipped to external customers vs. including internal transfers. No resolution was reached but the cons of not including internal transfers outweighed the pro's. cons - misreading relative to internal customers volume of product missed SPC for supplier requirements might not be met pros - data available for external only Significant discussion was held regarding the possible bad signals that would be sent if we measured shipments not on-spec, i.e. waivered shipments. Measuring could be construed as accepting it. The remaining items on the list should be reviewed in terms of "holes" and what confidence the data would give us that QMP is going the way it should. T.
