Start with Why & its Impact on Quality Management

Thanks again for joining us for #QualityMatters podcast!  Your husband and wife duo of Kyle and Darci Chambers are back, and back in the Garage Studio again tonight talking about Start with Why and its impact on Quality Management. Be sure to check us out online at www.QMCast.com and www.TexasQualtiyAssurance.com to keep up to date with the latest news from us.

Today we discuss a small piece of an author who should need no introduction today, Simon Sinek and his groundbreaking book “Start with Why”.  Today we are only reading from one small but powerful piece, if you had a copy handy we are readying from Assume You Know paged 14 and 15.  Simon goes on to talk about how American automakers were astonished their Japanese counterparts were not required to test a door’s fit at the end of the assembly line, that there were simply designed from the start differently and better.  This small section encapsulates the entire PDCA “Plan Do Check Act” cycle for you non Quality Geeks out there.

In today’s episode we talk about everything from Food safety and processes inside chemical plants to 3D printing with metals.  Listen and laugh along side Darci and Kyle as they explore again why Quality really does Matter

Today our episode conversation was sparked by the Intercontinental Terminal Company plant fires in Houston.  Reading articles led us to a quote from a Houston attorney by the name of Mo Aziz.  Mo was kind enough to take time out of his day to be a part of our podcast.

His experience plant fires and explosions is recent and varied.  He was involved in litigation in the West Fertilizer Plant Explosion from 2014-2017.  Mo is also involved in Arkema litigation that is current and ongoing.

We had the pleasure of discussing plant safety and policies in regard to West, Arkema, ITC and in general with Mo.  Listen in as we get an attorney’s perspective on how quality matters.

Welcome back to #QualityMatters with husband and wife due Kyle and Darci chambers.  Today we are exploring the impact of a Quality Management System, specifically against ISO 9001 for Kenya Pharma.  For those of you, like us who didn't know, Kenya Pharma is a project, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by Chemonics International. Basically that means that Kenya Pharma ensures a reliable supply of high-quality, low-priced pharmaceutical commodities for people with HIV/AIDS in Kenya.

Welcome back to #QualityMatters.  Your host Darci Chambers and Co-Host Kyle Chambers are discussing a recent nation wide news story in Houston Texas involving a shooting, multiple injured officers, the death of two suspects, and the infamous no knock warrant.  From a process and procedural point of view, how could this have gone differently?  What can be done in the future.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It

was a mother worried about her daughter's drug use that alerted Houston police

to a home in southeast Houston, leading to a deadly drug raid, say ABC13

sources. 

Below is a little of what we have read and understand about

the case so far. 

https://abc13.com/5127653/

Search Warrant

Requirement

The Fourth

Amendment to the United States Constitution protects

people’s right “to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,

against unreasonable searches and seizures.” Police must obtain a search

warrant from a judge, although courts have identified exceptions to this rule,

such as emergency situations and items plainly visible to police officers. A

defendant may ask a court to suppress evidence obtained in violation of the

Fourth Amendment, which prevents the state from using it in a criminal trial.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) --

We're learning more about the suspects police said opened fire on narcotics

officers while they were trying to serve a search warrant in southeast Houston

late Monday afternoon.

Welcome back to #QualityMatters.  Your host Darci Chambers and Co-Host Kyle Chambers are discussing the role of the Quality Management Representative in today's Quality Management System. What changed between ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 9001:2015? How does this affect you and your organization?

Top Management and the Quality Management Representative

The ISO 9001:2015 Standard is missing a key aspect of its previous revisions. The influential and integral role of the Quality Management Representative (QMR) has been removed. Initially, the 2000 revision required a QMR, and since then, the entire system has been posed to function primarily through this member. His/her absence has the potential to induce an upheaval of leadership and authority. What implications does this have for the top management?
