CoREM takes on the Big Three!

MEETING LOCATION CHANGE!
This month's CoREM meeting will be at the Monroeville Library rather than our customary Forbes Road location. The meeting will be held downstairs in the Program Room.
Last week the heads of the Big Three automakers pleaded for emergency government aid to stave off potential collapse, but after four hours of testimony, it appeared they had not persuaded enough lawmakers to move quickly on a bailout. Instead, they were asked to go back home and come up with written business plans on how they would use the bailout money to stave off collapse and become viable over the long-term.
It is well known in quality management circles that the success secret shared by the Big Three’s main Japanese competitors is that they have largely adopted W. Edwards Deming’s 14-points of quality management and that this approach has been mostly ignored by the Big Three. In this CoREM workshop we will be reviewing Deming’s 14-points and asking you to come up with your own plan to present to congress based on adopting the 14-points in your turn-around strategy.
This workshop will be facilitated by Pete McQuillin with the help of other CoREM board members.
Everyone is welcome to come to the Monroeville Library from 4 to 6 pm for this event, and to stay a while after to chat and network.
