"Autumn Greetings" fellow Mansfield ASQ members,

Sure does feel like Football weather, now, right? Luckily, there isn't much football happening this Thursday.

As usual, I would like to keep updated with our Mansfield ASQ members. So I encourage all of you to email me if you will be changing your email address. And I also ask that if you are made aware of any Quality related local job opportunities, please pass those along to me (or a contact for my follow-up) to help our fellow members pursue their career. I've not heard of any local Quality jobs for several months. So let me know.

If you are thinking "Certification", dates for applications & exams are updated for 2014-15 below in Section 4.

October is National Manufacturing Month. So only appropriate that our ASQ section take a plant tour!

It has been about 12 years since Whirlpool last hosted a tour to the Mansfield ASQ section.

So hopefully most of you can find the time to make the trek to the western side of the Mansfield Section.

Janice Litz and I have been working on the details for the tour. A light dinner will be provided.

Details of tour below. - - > B.Y.O. - P.P.E. ! < - - -

This newsletter is coming out late again. So, time to make plans for the October meeting is coming up very quickly. Please call or email Caryn by this Tuesday NOON. (needed for meal planning)

Best regards,

Joe

2.) Greetings from the Chair :

ARE WE ALL READY FOR SOME TOURS? This year’s Mansfield ASQ Section 0811 is bringing an abundance of tours!

Don’t forget to clear your schedule and be SURE to attend Thursday’s ASQ tour at the Whirlpool facility in Marion, Ohio!

Our very own Joe Hildebrand & Janice Litz have assured us of a VERY interesting tour as well as some good food and socializing!

So forget about those MLB Playoffs or those College & NFL Football Games and take advantage of a tour of a large and busy factory.

And I PROMISE it won’t be near as scary as the Mansfield Haunted Prison Tour! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Thank You,

Robert K.(Kenny) Paugh

7.) Employment Opportunities * : See below

If you are made aware of any North Central Ohio Quality openings, please forward those to me so that we can share those opportunities with other fellow Mansfield members.

A.) I'm passing along an email regarding employment opportunities as a contract Quality pro.

so here it is if anyone is interested :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I work for an international third party quality engineering service provider that is seeking to expand its subcontractor service pool. This is an excellent opportunity for those in your organization looking for work in the local area or maybe for those who may want to travel a bit stateside. The services we provide are contracted out to the subcontractors we have screened, vetted, approved and added to our database; based upon my experience the contractors and prospects I work with are, in one way or another, affiliated with ASQ. For this reason, I look to the local ASQ chapters to work with as I realize that is where those looking for opportunities gather for their social networking and education events.

Pro QC International offers services that include source inspections, product testing, vendor qualifications, systems consulting and auditing against social, security, accountability and international service standards. We work with a myriad of companies throughout automotive, medical device, food and drug and aerospace industries. The general spectrum of our assignments can vary from basic sort inspections to qualifying vendors and/or implementing process control systems.

Thank you again for your time.
