Volunteer Opportuni es
Upcoming Events Sec on Chair Update As the ASQ 701 Sec on Chair and PAR 2014 Innova on Award Program Project Leader, I was
invited to the World Conference Quality and Improvement 2015 by ASQ Community Leader‐
ship Ins tute to give a presenta on on our PAR 2014 Innova on Award Program Project –
ASQ YouTube Orienta on Videos to share our innova ve project and best prac ces in our
Sec on 701. You can find the link to our YouTube videos on our website.
With our innova ve ASQ YouTube Orienta on Videos, we inspired and led other ASQ Sec‐
ons to create such orienta on videos – Phoenix Sec on was the first Sec on that followed
us, there are more sec ons showed interest to ini ate our project at their sec ons. We also
learned from other ASQ Sec ons about their innova ve ideas that will be discussed at our
Leadership Mee ng to be implemented for member value crea on.
Once again, I would like to recognize our Educa on Chair Mark Lindsey, Recer fica on Chair
Cory Goral and Social Media Chair Jeffrey Snoddy for their outstanding and crea ve efforts to
realize this project.
Our success with PAR 2014 Innova on Award Program set the bar very high for our Sec on
that we created Young Quality Professionals Mentorship Program for PAR 2015 Innova on
Award Program.
For 2015 PAR Innova on Award Program, we launched a mentorship program with an aim to
increase the involvement of young quality professionals in our sec on. The purpose of this
project is to create a medium, where experienced quality professionals will provide guidance
and leadership to young quality professionals within a culture of collabora on.
We are striving to have you be part of this project. If you want to become a mentor or
mentee, please contact Briana Jokerst at [email protected].
With very informa ve clinic programs, as always, we will be welcoming you at the Doubletree
Hotel, Santa Ana on May 12, 2015. I am looking forward to seeing you there!

ASQ 0701 ORANGE EMPIRE RECEIVES PAR 2014 BRONZE AWARD & HONORABLE MENTION Year a er year, our ASQ Sec on 701 strives to bring value
to our members. Almost every year ASQ Orange Empire
Sec on has been recognized at the World Conference on
Quality and Improvement (WCQI). This year, we received
two award recogni on.
1) Bronze Award for PAR Performance 2014 This level was achieved by mee ng the good standing
requirements as well as mee ng and exceeding the
Member Value Metrics.
2) Honorable Men on for PAR Innova on Award Program 2014 The PAR Innova on Program recognizes ASQ member
units for best prac ces and innova on ideas that go be‐
yond achieving success in the areas of reten on and
growth, member sa sfac on and loyalty, and member
value delivery.
The PAR 2014 Innova on Award project that earned
the Honorable Men on award for our sec on made rip‐
ples in the ASQ Leadership that brought us to present the
project at the WCQI 2015 Community Leadership Ins tute
a er the idea was received with a lot of enthusiasm and
interest at ASQ Member Leader Training, Phoenix, where
our Sec on Chair Anet presented it for the first
me. Once again, our Sec on Chair Anet Tanya Ant deliv‐
ered the presenta on and sparked a lot of interest as well
as very good feedback from the leaders worldwide. Fel‐
low sec ons complimented our sec on's innova on as a
"breakthrough."
Let me tell you a li le about what brought us to this
point...
Our PAR 2014 Innova on Award Program Team led by
Anet Tanya Ant and executed by Mark Lindsey and Cory
Goral, promoted & assisted by Jeffrey Snoddy, worked in
crea ng a series of ASQ YouTube Orienta on videos with
the objec ve to help our members get key informa on
and benefits from ASQ.
The opportunity for us was Sec on 701 Members and non
‐members frequently reached out to our ASQ 701 Leader‐
ship Team to obtain informa on on topics concerning
ASQ and ASQ 701. The recurring challenge was ASQ Mem‐
bers and non‐members did not know how to navigate
ASQ and ASQ 701 Websites to get informa on.
Having considered these inquiries and reviewed the ASQ Annual
Membership Survey Results, we decided to create a series of
YouTube videos to provide knowledge and informa on on the
following topics:

Recer fica on Applica on Overview

Recer fica on Journal Overview

Recer fica on Informa on Overview and the Loca on on
ASQ Website

Apply for ASQ Membership

Apply for Cer fica on/Exam

ASQ Sec on 701 Website Demo

ASQ Cer fica on Exam Prep/Refresher
Basically, ASQ YouTube Videos bridges the gap between poten‐
al & exis ng members and the informa on that is available on
ASQ and ASQ 701 websites. The links to these videos have been
posted on our ASQ 701 Website.
What's the big deal...one may ask?
Well, we are trying to use these videos as a knowledge database
that will bring "must know" informa on to our members, 24/7, at
their finger ps and to review at their own pace. The videos post‐
ed are just the start and we hope to extend the library as we get
feedback and members let us know areas where we need to
help.
Now, we just need to keep passing the word about the videos,
we need your feedback, and why not join us to bring a gold
award for our sec on for 2015.

The Improvement Compass Finding direc on! ***SPECIAL EDITION*** A Path to Inspire - The Beginning By Dieter Eckstein, ASQ CMQ/OE, CQA, BSBM
Last Sunday May 3rd at the World Conference for Quality
and Improvement in Nashville, Bob invited me as a guest
for Fellow Luncheon and I had the privilege to sit among
the top 1% of ASQ’s brightest and most accomplished
members. This was a celebra on for 16 other ASQ Mem‐
bers that came from around the world to receive a very
special pin, the ASQ Fellow Award.
I proudly witnessed part of our ASQ Orange Empire Sec‐
on history as a colleague of ours, Bob (Bhavan) Mehta
was part of the 16 ASQ Members being honored.
er of composite materials to Aerospace industry. Three years later,
he decided to explore his career in the healthcare industry and start‐
ed working for Allergan as a Junior Chemist. Bob was promoted four
mes while working in the lab for over 12 years. During his lab work,
Bob was heavily involved with internal audits and out‐of‐specifica on
inves ga ons (OOS) in addi on to managing day‐to‐day GMP lab
func ons. In 2001, Bob was promoted and started working for the
same employer as a Worldwide Quality Assurance Manager to sup‐
port Allergan's worldwide opera ons. He was promoted in 2003 as a
Senior Worldwide QA Manager. While working at Allergan, he com‐
pleted two Master degrees; MBA from Pepperdine University and
graduated in 1995 and MSQA from Cal State Dominguez Hills and
graduated in 2007. In addi on, Bob earned eight (8) ASQ Cer fica‐
ons. S ll, his journey had not reached its end.
During my conversa on with Bob’s professors who a ended the Fel‐
low luncheon, Cal State Dominguez Hills Professor Barry Craner char‐
acterized Bob as “An aggressive learner based on Bob’s con nuous
stride in the field of quality and his highest level of accomplishments
to become a Fellow.”
While at Cal State Dominguez Hills, Bob discovered ASQ and started
volunteering as a proctor in 2007. Since then, Bob is dedicated to
hold various leadership posi ons as a Chief Proctor, Vice Chair, Chair,
Career Chair and Program Chair.
One by one, the new ASQ Fellows were called to receive
their pin. When his name was called, Bob got up from his
chair and walked towards the front of the room receiving
the applause from his peers in recogni on of his accom‐
plishments. As they were reading Bob’s accomplishments
and he walked across the five feet to the front of the
room, it came to mind how his journey started.
In late 1986, Bob le Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India with
dreams of success. Since then, in twenty nine years , Bob
accomplished a number of personal and professional
milestones. In his words, becoming a fellow of ASQ is a
huge milestone fueled by those dreams and materialized
with hard work and exemplary character.
His career in the US started in 1987 at US Polymeric, San‐
ta Ana, CA loca on. US Polymeric was the leading suppli‐
He decided to share his knowledge in 2009 following Margare e
Fuller’s quote “If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in
it.” He has taught at North Orange County Community College, Cal
State Fullerton and con nues to teach Master level Quality Courses at
Cal State Dominguez Hills, Six Sigma Black Belt at Cal Poly Pomona,
and several ASQ Cer fica on Refresher Courses. For the past several
years, Bob mentors quality professionals and helping others to ac‐
complish goals and dreams. Bob started working as a Principal Con‐
sultant & Recruiter in 2010 and he has been helping US and global
clients with quality, compliance, and training projects. In Bob’s own
words “He wants to inspire quality professional globally to help pro‐
ducing safe, reliable, and high quality products to mi gate risk to con‐
sumer /pa ent safety.”

In a room full of great Quality minds, this was already
extremely inspira onal and special celebra on. However,
there was a very special a endee among the crowd. This
special a endee has revolu onized with his model the
way customer sa sfac on is analyzed. That special guest
was Dr. Noriaki Kano. Dr. Kano is great mind behind the
Kano Model who honored all of us with his gracious pres‐
ence.
Dr. Milton Krivokuca, a regular contributor to our ASQ
Sec on, was also honored as an ASQ Fellow.
On behalf of our Leadership Commi ee, our Chair, Anet
Ant and I would like to congratulate Bob and Milton for
their inspira onal leadership and examples.

There were three levels of the presenta ons:
2015 Member Leader Events and
World Conference Quality and
Improvement (WCQI)
Basic: Provide an introduc on to a subject, including prac cal
and user‐friendly defini ons of terms. The primary focus was to
bring an individual who may not be familiar with the subject to a
level of knowledge that facilitates future learning.
By Vinay Goyal, Deputy Regional Director and ac ng Membership Chair Sec on 0701 Intermediate: The par cipant should have some degree of
knowledge of the subject (or interest). The intent is to build on
an individual’s knowledge of the subject to a point of greater
understanding.
Like every year, this year some of our sec on leaders
have been represen ng the sec on in 2015 Member
Leader Events including the 2015 World Conference Qual‐
ity and Improvement (WCQI) in Nashville, Tennessee from
May 1‐5. Every year these events are hosted by the Amer‐
ican Society for Quality Headquarters (ASQ HQ) in differ‐
ent states where members not only from the US, but also
from all over the world par cipate.
Advance: Provides an in‐depth and/or up‐to‐date treatment of a
subject. A strong theore cal background and a working
knowledge of a subject are expected of those who a end.
There is no pre‐requisite to a end any of these events and regis‐
tered par cipants could a end any session presenta ons.
Session Descrip ons: I have had an opportunity to represent our sec on 0701
Orange Empire as the membership chair and Deputy Re‐
gional Director with some other Leadership Commi ed
LCs. Like most of conferences, most of the events fall un‐
der business as usual category; however the team has
picked up a few new things that they would share with
our sec on members in up‐coming eScope edi ons and
clinics.
Concurrent Sessions: There were 60 minute sessions meant to
present real applica ons, results, and solu ons based on quality
principles or theory that can be interpreted immediately.
The theme for this year’s conference was “Transforming
the World Through Innova on, Inspira on, and Leader‐
ship”. Whether under the tle of quality or something
else, all organiza ons use and need quality. As compe ‐
on and complexity of the global market grow, more and
more organiza ons are embracing the need to think
differently and inspire their employees. Some look to
grow the number of tools and techniques at their disposal
so they may find the solu ons they seek, while others
may search for implementa on strategies that produce
the best results. Organiza ons that are most established
in their journey have found ways to establish, transform
and sustain work environments in which innova on is
fostered, leadership is shared, and all are aligned to a
common vision. They have seen the results that these
cultures produce and crea vity they inspire. They have
discovered the key to establishing a culture of quality. The
main focus areas were: (a) Innova on, (b) Leadership, (c)
Risk and Change, (d) Prac cal Applica on of Quality Tools,
(e) Techniques and Methodologies, and (f) The future of
Quality.
Flip Sessions: Flip sessions were on interac ve session format
designed to provide a NEW method of learning. These sessions
are flipped and allowed par cipants to view the session presen‐
ta on online before the conference and then do all the hands‐on
‐ac vi es, exercises, and Q&A during the conference session
me with the presenter.
Workshops: Workshops will lead par cipants from an iden fied
beginning point through a logical and clearly iden fied end point
with the expansion of the related body of knowledge and include
hands‐on learning ac vi es that demonstrate and reinforce the
concepts presented.
A er “5” Sessions: (offered only one on Monday): These exci ng
and innova ve sessions are less formal than the concurrent ses‐
sions and cover numerous topics that may not relate directly to
quality in the tradi onal sense (e.g. Product Environmental Re‐
quirements) and include a social component, which adds to the
level of interac on between the facilitator and par cipants, as
well as the par cipants and their peers.
I will discuss in upcoming eScope edi ons on the benefits of be‐
coming an ASQ member, a ending events like World Confer‐
ences, & ASQ ac vi es that may be beneficial for your future
development and growth.
If you have any specific ques on or sugges on, please feel free to
discuss with any of our sec on leaders or email me at:

Presented by: Jack B. ReVelle, Ph.D.
In process improvement, SIPOC is a tool that summarizes the inputs
and outputs of one or more processes in a tabular format. The acro‐
nym SIPOC stands for suppliers, inputs, process, outputs,
and customers which form the columns of the table. It was used at
least as early as the Total Quality Management programs of the late
1980s and con nues to be used today in Lean Six Sigma. SIPOC is
o en presented at the outset of process improvement efforts such
as Kaizen events or during the "define" phase of
the DMAIC process. It has three typical uses depending on the audi‐
ence: to give people who are unfamiliar with a process a high‐level
overview, to provide current familiarity when a process has become
out‐of‐date due to process changes, and to help in fully defining a
new process.
